Default I need a list of drill bit sizes for the TB

I know you start with a 3/16" and go up in 1/64" increments but I'm far too lazy to make out a list. Anyone got one off hand they can post so I don't have to do the math <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ? <img border="0" alt="[Z06 Corvette]" title="" src="graemlins/z06.gif" /> Thanks.

3/16 is one size bigger as I drilled my brother's '00 WS6 TB w/a 3/16 and it opened it up some. The C5's do not have a hole but my brother had an extra TB blade from and old F-body TB so we put that in my TB and drilled it out 3/16 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> for mine.

Cool, was that sound clip you posted with that different TB blade installed ? Also, was that through your exhaust? or open headers.

That was through my full exhaust (LT headers, no cats and B&B PRTs which are pretty much straight through mufflers).

Yeah, I just got it. It's not that bad to learn on. It just takes practice and some messing around with.
