Arizona Speed and Marine makes good TB's. I wouldn't go bigger TB till you are making more HP around 395 RWHP. Most people get a new TB with new heads/cam or nitrous and forced induction applications. Any one of the sponors should carry TB's. 58mm seems pretty popular as an upgrade to heads/cam.

Your best bet is to get it ported, do it yourself, or just give it to Jantzer. He does a really good job on them. Might want to do a seach on him though, some people have had some problems with him. Other than that Jantzer is the best, I was really satisfied with him work. With your mods your definitly going to see a nice gain, iam guessing 10 plus hp.

Definetely go with Jantzer if you want to gain some HP and wait 6 months to gain it. Otherwise check out MTI billet throttlebody. Good looks and good gains.

this is a ls1 not a lt1. a 58mm t/b would choke a ls1. lt1's as you know have a twin bore. and even on lt1's a 52mm is more than enough.
