Got ported TB. Keep my sensors?

I got a thunder racing ported throttle body and am going to send my original back as a core. Should I swap out the sensors since my TB only has 12K miles? With the new TB my car idles kind of funny sometimes. I'm wondering if it would be wise to keep my sensors. Who knows how many miles were put on their TB and sensors before they ported it. Swap or no? Thanks for your time guys.

I would swap, cause you could have a 1998 TB for all you know. Thats funny though, my TR Ported TB did not have any of the electronic hookups on it, I just had to move mine over

Try swapping it before sending back; can't hurt! Then you'll know.

Damn them vette wheels are tempting. They will clear on a 99 Z28 wont they?

98-99 have a different cam on the throttle shaft from the 2000 and up. This is reflected in TR's part numbers.

You could swap your parts onto the ported one. Personally I'd try the ported one as delivered first, including doing the idle relearn if your idle seems strange. If you still aren't happy, swap the parts and try again.

There can be some idle issues with modified TBs. Contact the company with your questions; they are a forum sponsor.
