Default Trailblazer ss throttle body or ls1?

Hello, I'm starting my 1968 nova ls1 swap project. I've bought a 2006 trailblazer ss with ls2 for donor vehicle. . I just bought a zo6 intake, with ls1 throttle by wire throttle body on it. My question: should I use the ls1 throttle body or the trailblazer ss throttle body?? Both are throttle by wire. Thanks for any help!

Wow! Nice job. Are you planning to put a/c on it? What power steering, alternator, etc. did you use? So that's the complete holly kit from like summit/ jegs or the like? Thanks sorry got to conversations going.

If you're planning on using the TBSS harness and PCM then you'll need to use the TBSS throttle body.

Not going to use wiring harnes. I want to clean up the engine bay. I planned on using the engine , & trans controller. It looks like the throttle body with ls2 intake is probably the best way to go?

Probably easier than trying to mount the newer TB to the older intake.

I think the tbss intake is better than an ls6 and definitely better than an ls2 intake.
The truck intake will fit in a gen 3 nova same as a gen 1 camaro
