My old 230/230 114lsa would idle fine without a hole but with my new 232/238 111lsa I found it necessary to run a small hole....

Let me rephrase my post - no modification made to stock hole diameter. Was also told to resolve idle issues with tuning.

I agree, you do not need to enlarge your tb whole. I enlarged mine two sizes from stock but this was with a 224 110lsa cam. I now run a 230/236 107lsa cam with the same sized whole. Most, if not all, idle issues can be solved in the VE tables says the ls1 edit tuner.

I have a stock TB with no hole - all idle adjustments were done through tuning alone.

231 237 and went with an 11/64 size bit through stock hole. just opened it up a tad. Not all of us can afford tunes right away. But this got it to idle rough but idle. As u drive it learns it's idle on it's own.

239/251, 106 - 1/4" hole. Tried to tune it without a hole. Can't get enough air to keep it running-> with IAC maxed out.

IAC MAX = 63.75 = 255 steps.

Hmmmm....now that it's pretty well tuned maybe I need to buy a new blade and see if it will work through IAC alone.....ETC- Vette.

OOPS - I said 1/2", meant 1/4". You could throw a hat through a 1/2" hole!!!

1/4" hole with the old 230 cam. Was too much though, as IAC's were pegged at 0.
