Throttle body not opening all the way?
Throttle body not opening all the way? I had my girl sit in my car and floor it when I was lookin at my throttle body and I noticed the butterfly opened like 75%??? Is it susposssed to open to the little metal peace???? Or is it supposed to open 75%???? For sure it's not opening all the way??? Pls help Thanks
thats how the throttlebody is built..alot of guys and aftermarket manufacturers grind about an eight of an inch (where that metal part is that stops the assembly) down so the t/b can open 100%
What I'm sayin is my throttle doesn't even touch that little stopper it's basically full throttle with and half an inch left to really be full throttle and touch that stopper

All OEM LS1 TB's only opened roughly 75% from the factory. Delete the bump stop delete like mentioned and you are good to go. Don't listen to that dipshit marc.

It would be a waste of time for him since his TB is currently not touching the bump stop with the pedal on the floor. How is grinding down the stop going to change anything if it isn't even touching it?
It sounds to me like the cable needs to be adjusted and then you can do the bump stop mod if you want to.
