Default LS7 intake ana ptm cable t/b

Just bolt on my ptm t/b to my ls7 intake and found the throttle cam hits the intake and doesn't allow full throttle.Does anybody make a spacer like a NOS plate for it to clear?I don't really want to grind and clearance the intake for it to clear.

We have a cast aluminum spacer that moves the tb out to clear the manifold/map sensor. It also has the mounting tab for the fbody throttle bracket. the price is 99.00 shipped ground.

So this spacer will give me a better T-cable angle also?

Another idea is a UMI throttlebody. It fits no problems, and no spacer needed.

We use that adapter that Cary mentioned as well. It also makes life easy when it comes to mounting your cable bracket, since the LS7 intake doesn't have a provision for it.

Great point there. Would be a highly convenient plus to purchasing the spacer.
