Porting the TB.

A stock throttle body is listed as a 75mm throttle body. The lip in front of the blade (which you remove while porting) only makes it around a 72.5mm throttle body. Make sense?

Thanks for the tip, Bo.
I did mine last week, but was afraid to work on the lip. I must have misunderstood the other posts I'd read...I thought the lip needed to stay (at least some of it) or it would be the end of the world. I guess they just meant that you don't want to get into the opening and make it bigger than the blade.

I havent seen a 78mm TB on the trucks, doesnt mean that they do not exist- Ive swapped blades in and out of em with the vette and fbody ones because of various reasons without a problem. The bleed hole on the truck TBs(70123 part # blade I believe) is however smaller than the fbodys by about .020"
