Throttle Body

What size of throttle body should i put on my 2002 camaro ss,stock size or 90, or something diffrent. I,m stuck between BBk and Fast. Althought Fast is a good brand, they're pretty expensive. What do yall think BBk,FASt or something else?

Depends on what you plan on doing with it. If you're going to put a big cam or head/cam package in it I would go with the FAST 90mm manifold/intake. Otherwise maybe just have your stock tb ported.

Do not follow his advice if youre keeping your stock ls6 intake manifold. The intake throat is only 78mm so even if a 90mm TB would bolt up (which it wont) the 90mm bore meeting the ledge of the 78mm intake opening will cause turbulence and slow velocity quite a bit. If you want to go all out, get a FAST 90mm intake and a NW 90 mm TB, however this will run you 1k+. If youre on a budget like most of us are, just get your stocker ported or do it yourself. Also, you may find a lot of complaints about BKK intake and TB products.

Well i'm completly stock at the moment but i have been posting on the site and trying to get more information on what i should add to get the best results. Some say headers and a good exahust system, some say a cam. A friend told me to change my intake, tb, and maf sensor. So im kinda getting diffrent information from diffrent people. At the moment i wanted to buy some headers but i'm a little confused on which ones to buy, there are a lot of brands of headers to choose from and i want to make the right choice and get the ones that will give me maximum results. For the future i was plannin to but a bigger cam. Before anything i wanted to change the maf, tb, and intake, and add a k&n filter but people have been saying that this is not a good idea. What is you opinion?

Get your stock throttle body ported for now. You'll gain anywhere from 5-10 rwhp from that. Later on down the road after you have done all of the bolt-ons, and either a big cam or heads/cam, then get a FAST 90mm intake and a Nick Williams 90mm throttle body to go along with it.
