In other words, since you don't have electronic throttle like the vette, it can't open the throttle plate to get more air in, so you still may need to drill.

Yea, drill your TB hole out a bit. Try 13/64's and then go up in small increments until you achieve the idle speed/quality you desire.

Do not worry about messing anything up, TB plates are cheap and easy to replace. Plus you can always epoxy up the hole at a later date if you find you have gone too big.

It is a "normal" thing to have to drill the TB, dont geek over it.

Good luck, if you have any questions just email me. I'll do what I can.
