Default Who makes the biggest throttle body for an lsx?

I currently have a 102mm TB and am wondering if there any companies or forum vendors that carry lets say big boy throttle bodies? This is for a twin screw build and air flow is critical the more air you can get in the more power you will be able to make. Looking for as big as possible with still being able to be tuned properly. Anyone out there make a 120mm plus Throttle body?

I wasnt able to find one anywhere so I figured I would ask....

Appreciate the post I have seen the 110mm by KB seems to be a bit to small for what I am looking for but yet the biggest option I have found so it may be the best option... I should mention this needs to be DBW as well not manual/cable style since its in a c5 corvette

Do you know if it is DBW by chance? Found a couple threads on it, from what I could tell it was manual only.

Yes, they do that all the time when they are forcing air through the throttle body. If you read my OP then you will see I dont have anything forcing air through the TB but rather the TB is forcing air through the blower which is why the bigger the better in this case.

I googled him and couldnt find a number do you have one for him? Looks like he is a part of Accufab or similar as a bunch of accufab stuff came up under his name in google.

102mm/25.4 = 4.016"

You need bigger than a 4" throttle body? That's pretty massive.

Yes bigger. Think about it like this with a turbo/centri set up you are pushing/forcing air through the TB. Huge throttle bodies on those types of cars aren't really needed to make big power.

On a twin screw application like mine the throttle body is before the blower, thus creating a restriction for the blower. It acts as a restrictor plate basically, the more air you can get through the TB and into the blower the more power you will make.
