Throttle body help! I'm in the process of having my car dyno tuned. The engine is an LS1 pullout swapped into a 70 camaro. Apparantly the little hole in the throttle plate has been enlarged and they can't get the idle down below 900RPM.
Does anybody have an extra throttle plate laying around or know where I can get one without buying a complete throttle body?
Thanks,
Chris

If the shop has a welder they could just tack up the hole and grind it flush, then just re-drill a stock hole which is .165 in. I would help you out but i dont have any spares. Tim

This is your best bet. 
Might be bigger than the one you already have.
