4 bolt DBC throttle body I'm new to the LS engines so bear with this question isf it's dumb.
are there any years you can get a 4 bolt DBC TB? All I see is the 3 bolts and am looking for factory DBC 4 bolt TB and prefer not use the adapter.
Thanks

Are there any factory ones? Building budget 5.3 turbo so I don't need NW or 400 TB. I see cheap EBay ones but read on here some have issues so thought I would stay factory

The only factory cable throttle bodies were in Trucks and Gen 4 Camaros, and all those were 3 bolt. The larger 4 bolt ones came out in Corvettes (LS2 initially) and the later trucks, which were all DBW.

Thanks....two questions then. Are there any issues running the adapter from 4 bolt intake to 3 bolt TB?
and are the Holley Sniper TB ok? They are priced in the 160 range which is reasonable. again this is turbo deal so I don't need a big one

While I have no experience with their TB's, Holley usually makes a good product, and they back them up.
As long as there are no flow "hiccups" between the TB and manifold, there should be no problem with the adapter

I have a ProComp i would sell cheap $40. I switched to a FAST on my Nova. I did not realize there was a set screw that holds the throttle lever or arm to the throttle shaft until i took it off to replace it. I kept having issues with it returning to idle.
