I just bought a BBK 92 MM TB from S&K speed. less than 300 shipped to my door brand new.

Also, FAST makes one and a few other companies. lots of options. just make sure it is a 4 bolt TB for the LS3/L76 intake.

I saw this one but would it fit on a l76 manifold?

Is there a size limit on throttle bodies? Its a stock l76 intake so would a 101mm even work?

You can use a 102mm TB, but honestly there may be some issues with smaller CID with it. Sometimes bigger is not always better, and it takes a bit of porting on the TB area to make sure it will fit.

That NW 92 is one of the best out there and WS6 Store is a good place to get them from.

Do not forget you will also need a cable bracket since the ls3 intake has no provisions for it. WS6 store sells those as well.

He does not have it listed, but does offer it. I would give them a call in the morning, they can get you price and everything.

What are you doing for map sensor? LS1 or 3?
Which is the best way to go or does it matter as long as your tuner is aware?

I believe Katech sells an adapter for the ls1 map sensor to use on the ls3 intake... Are you doing a similar build or just curious?

You may have to change a few of the map readings for the LS3 to work correctly. WS6 store sells the adapter as well. He has quite a few things for almost any f body with any type of LS swap in it.

You need an extension harness for the MAP. I got the cable bracket from Speed Inc. and Im using a 90mm Nick Williams. No reason to go bigger because the LS3 manifold opening is 90mm.

Do you have a part number for the bracket?

As long as there is a bolt hole in the back of it for the bracket to attach to then you are ok.
