a LQ4 is a 6.0L. The 2010 Camaro intake manifold is from a LS3, not a LS7 as your thread title says. (LS7 is the 427CID from the Corvette. I don't recall the displacement in Liters. )

You don't have the correct heads (LS3 or L92) to use the Camaro intake manifold. Nor can you install them on your 5.3L. You need a minimum of 4.00" bore for the L92/LS3 heads. The valley plate is referred to as DOD(displacement on deemand) for what its worth. Someone will chime in on your TB question.

Sorry my reply is all over the place.
Good luck,
Jim

Let me see if I can help clarify. You want to mix and match a different pedal with the stock tahoe throttle body?

you need to swap heads. Cathedral port vs square. Go with an ls6 or fast if your keeping stock heads.

That Intake will not work. You need something that is Cathedral.
