Default 90mm TB

When is the damn 90mm TB for the C5 coming out?

What good is the 90mm LSX intake w/o the TB.

there is alot of time and expense involved it machining a throttle body,you have material,fixtureing,tooling,machine time, designing in cad then transfering to cam,disassembling cores cleaning and assembly then testing.$650.00 is a fair price i think for all that is involved,also who knows how many of this intake and throttle body[fast 90mm] will sell,the gains are not all that impressive.

There are only 2 cars I know of that actually have a 90mm TB. Both of these cars gained about 20hp and 15tq over a LS6 intake and ported stock TB.

They are both heads/cam LG Motorsports cars.

Who Cares About The Price, You Drive A Corvette Right? These Aren't Mustangs Were Parts Are Cheap. It's Just Nice Too See A Product Out That Nobody Else Has Right Now. When New Stuff Comes Out It Is Always Expensive. I've Had Great Luck With Tpis And They Make A Good Product, And Stand Behind Their Work. I Would Rather Spend $200 Bucks More And No I Have A Good Working Product That Has Been Tested And Proven Than Somethng That Hasen't.

I agree, earlier posts about the lsx were not near as friendly, luke warm reception at best. These results are more encouraging.

Its because of people like you that Corvette products are so expensive. Did you ever think about that?

Its not like making a 90mm TB for a Mustang or even a Kia costs more than making one for a Vette but the price for the Vette is usually double? Why? So people like you can boost their ego by saying I spent 15 grand modding my car and not 5 grand.
