Default Throttle body blade stcok hole size???

I drilled my sock TB to 17/64 for idle, now that I have tuning it won't idle all the way down because of the huge hole I drilled in, does anyone know the stock spec??

You may want to try filling that hole with some JB Weld and then re-drilling the same spot or right next to it.

I would hate to get JB weld sucked into the chamber <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

True, but there's probably a way to do that would ensure it would stay in place. I wouldn't do it either unless I was sure. How else could it be filled in? Screw and nut? Even worse!

Maybe a new blade.
