Holley 58mm TB

Or you could be a guniea pig and get the new summit ones.

My 91 TPI loved the 58MM, moreso after I ported the intake for it. Mines a BBK, and I'll be putting it on my 93 here soon. Only diff I can tell from the 91 and 93 TB is the TPS sensor is round plug instead of square, so different mounting. I'll be changing the wireing harness to the flat 4 enlight of that. Save myself $300 getting a new one.

Run the stock throttle body and spend the money on a good tune.

Match the diameter of the tb with the diameter of the opening in the manifold. Any larger will be wasted, and could cause turbulence. My LT1 has a 52mm opening, not sure on the LT4.

I am going to have to go with this statement. I bought a holley 52mm from a sponsor and immediately had problems with the blades sticking at idle. I read up more and found this was common with them. BBK has had issues in the past with the blades sticking at wide open throttle, not good.

I went back to my stock but polished it up a bit and put a new plate to make it look nice. Thats my opinion.

I have a bored stock tb, and it is great. No issues like you run into when going aftermarket.
