Very nice looking. It will be good to have two different 90mm throttlebodies to choose from when those are released.

Do you have any more pics of it at different angles that are larger in size?

You basically summed up everything at MTI.

This is a completely new TB right? Not an OEM ported TB?

The body is machined completely from a block of billet aluminum. Its an awesome piece.

Bodhi: MTI price matches on parts. hater.

To be completely CNC'd from a stock block of Al, this seems to be on par. CNC design and cutting time is unfathomable in costs.

Even that black annodized throttle cam is machined out of billet. This unit uses no GM parts, only fabricated custom pieces. And then it is polished like a ****.

I'd be interested in one as well....hopefully without the MTI logo on it. Not really a fan of having stickers and logos on stuff under my hood, gotta try and stay at least somewhat OEM lookin

Hopefully the 90mm C5 version wont take too long.

Glad to see somebody recognizes that! This unit tooks months to develop and get perfect. They are very expensive to build and assemble. This is not a cheap cast part that is slapped together. Even if some people cannot afford this unit, try and appreciate the time & effort it took to bring another high end LS1 part to market! I'll have pics of it on a car posted tomorrow.

I know first hand. I had some one-off things CNC designed and cut for me on my C5 and the costs to do them were outrageous, especially being one-off type things. The TBs you have would be no different, and would cost much more since the other pieces were also CNC'd instead of just slapping factory TB parts onto the CNC'd housing.

Any plans to dyno it back-to-back versus other ported TBs? I've seen the same gains that you're claiming from other ~ $150 TBs, and would like to see how it measures up versus Shaner, Bauer, MMS, etc.

If you can guarantee 10rwhp with tuning on back to back pulls on my 395 stroker, I will send you a money order Monda morning.

Send me a pm as I dont check here that often.
