Default LSX intake and TB

I ordered a 90mm LSX intake.
How do you use this when there are no 90mm TB released yet?

You either do not install it until they are released, or fab your own in the meantime. A few people have fabbed adapter plates to mount their TB's to it until the 90's are released. LG has made one for their corvette car so you might try them.

Thanks for the info.
And thanks fast for the **** poor mangement you have.
Lot of good it did for you to release one without the other.

Hey how about tomorrow you release that brain that was supposed to go into your head. Maybe this way we could use the part we just spent 800+ dollars for.
What a bunch of jackasses.

You bought it, should have thought about the throttle body issue before hand.

Yeah yellow, I should have thought about this 3 months ago when I got in line for the order.
At that time I did think about it, that is why I ordered the 90mm TB as well.
Only one showed up though.
Thats like you ordering a truck and trailor to pull your car around both from chevy.
The trailor shows up and they say they wont have the truck for you for another 6 weeks.
What good will the trailor do with no truck?????????????
Exactly.........................................

It's like releasing a PS2 without any games for it, or releasing the games without the PS2. Most of us are like kids and don't have a bit of patience when we see new quality parts come out and can't have them or use them.

Think about it from a marketing standpoint. You introduce a unique product to market that will have great demand and you have a good chance at selling a complimentary product that nobody else would be building (ask whatever price you want this is the LS1 world).....and you have essentially a monopoly for a short time. Instead, you release info and the product to market before it's usuable and demand kicks in and all your competitors are working on their own 90mm TB so they can reap the rewards. Watch the price of 90mm TB's for the LSX come down fast! I would bet there will be 6+ vendors with these TB's by the end of the year.

Having said that, I respect LSX and will be buying the 90mm intake/TB when it's available and the results are proven. Obviously it's quite an accomplishment to outperform the LS6 as it's been 7 years since the LS1 came out and many companies tried their own manifolds without a lot of success.
