Default 4-barrel Throttle body!!

http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...mages/3879.jpg

I'm planning on selling my elbow and throttle body and replacing it with a 4-barrel throttle body on top of my Victor JR. I am also going to convert to a Speed Density tune and delete my Mass Air Flow sensor. Does anyone have any experience with this throttle body or have pictures on a LS1 motor?....

how about a FAST....or any other makes of throttle bodies such as that? Do I need an adapter plate????


Also, I noticed how you plugged your vacuum line off of the front of the passenger side valve cover...the one that usually goes to the throttle body....I have a LS6 vally cover....would it be ok, If I did the same.

I think I'm going to do the exact seup that onebadws6 used...with the Accufab throttle body and Jegs bracket....I won't be using the spacer, so We'll see if it will fit under the stock cowl. I do have a question about the throttle linkage??........I don't have cruize control, but for some reason 3 cabels run under my hood, going to and from the little turn table.....do I just trash that entire setup and run the single cable from JEGS??

Sounds like you have Traction Control with that. You can get rid of that and just run a throttle cable only

Just disconnect the wire harness from that part you were talking about and it will turn off the traction control. Maybe you oculd turn it off with a tuning software but I'm not sure if that's something that can be changed with a tuning software

What size TB is the Accufab, and what throttle cable did you use? When you say its better than your elbow and 92mm, do you mean it made more power? Sorry for all the questions haha, I just got my Victor JR and fuel rails and was set to go with a elbow and 92mm, and now I'm considering this style TB and a Speed Density tune.
