Default 2007 TBSS Throttle Body on V?

Ive heard this will work but wanna see if anyone has done it. I know its a 4 bolt which is why i want it so i can put a FAST on my car. I just want to make sure it will still connect to the harness without modification.

couldnt agree more, the FAST intake and nitrous solenoids will make up for it.

The LS2 tb connector is different too...you need a ls2 to ls6 connector harness to make it work.

The V has an LS6 TB which is 78MM just like the intake manifold. So porting a TBSS TB will still put it around 90mm and will allow me to bolt up at a FAST which is the main reason for buying it.

I think the blade itself is where the size comes from.

Anyway, the harness that you're looking for probably doesn't exist. However this is a common (well maybe not common) swap for trucks that have the older 78mm TB/intake. The harness that they require costs $200 bucks because it actually has to convert the signal to make it run this style of TB. So yours would probably be similar.

You can get LS2 TBs for $200. Just have to look for them.
