Default Best TB for a stroker.

Just did a Shafiroff 383 AFR 225 and magnacharged V series. The blower is killing it, so we are removeing it.

Now going to FAST 90mm and was gonna go with a LS2 90mm. Will that be sufficent, or is there a LARGER TB available?....Of should I use a TPiS?

I think the LS2 unit should be fine but,...wanted to see if anyone has had experience with this.

Thanks,
J

I've not heard of an off the shelf item bigger than 90mm, but there was a thread only week about someone making their own 100mm TB (they have all the CNC gear to do it).

FAST 90 or NW 90 seem popular but I can't see any reason why a ported LS2 won't do.

The only thing you'd better check is if the LS2 TB will has the same bolt pattern as the FAST intake. I have no idea if it does or not but I vagly remember something about it and other TB setups.

They ALL should be the same EXACT bolt pattern

So I have to ask...How much better IS the fast/tpis/nick williams then the stock LS2?

Just wondering why the blower is killing it ? I know Cartek has a 383 magnacharger and also EastCoastSupercharging has doene a 383 magnacharger.

Is it the cam? head cc ?, or Pulley size ?
