Default Throttle Body

I have an 07 Impala SS. It currently has a NOS Sniper Wet Kit and I am using a 125 shot, a FJO controller, magnaflow exhaust, K & N Air Filter, and a custom tune from a local guy who owns a speedshop. I found a throttle body on BBK's website and they make an 80mm throttle body for a 5.3L 2006 Silverado. Does anyone know if this is something that would also work with the 5.3 in the Impala or do they have a different set up?

Nope it won't work. The 8pin dbw is different between cars and trucks. Could try making a harness up but will the thing even bolt up to our intake manifold. I think those are 3 bolt ls6 style. You can look into having your stock one ported or getting a spacer is another option.

Thanks. I'll just order that Airaid throttle body spacer. I really wish they made more parts for these vehicles. I am hoping to bring it to the track pretty quick here and was hoping to hit high 12s, but we'll see.

Search on this part of the forum. It's for an envoy v6 I think.

What times are you running now? I'm toying going with 100hp dry shot.

What tires are you running?

I haven't brought the car to the track yet. Right now for modifications I have a CAI, throttle body spacer, mildly ported throttle body, magnaflow exhaust, tune, 100 shot of nitrous (will use 125 at the track), FJO nitrous controller, and will be getting a ported intake manifold in the next couple of weeks.

For tires right now I am running on Eagle F1s, but will be purchasing some better tires here at the end of the month to put on when I make it to the track. I figure I should make it out to the track early - mid June. If I don't hit a high 12 I'll just do some more modifications. Ideally I would like to get the turbo kit and upgraded transmission, but I don't have that much money to drop into my car right now. Maybe a few years down the road.

Dry shots scare me for the fact of running lean. I have a wet shot. A 100 shot really brings the motor to life. There are always the risks associated with nitrous, but I would definitely recommend it.
