Default what throttle body to buy
I just got done building a LQ4 with L92 heads and a L76 intake for my Trans am and the last thing I need to buy is the throttle body. I plan on going with a 90mm and from what I’ve seen there doesn't seem to be much difference between them. They're all CNC'd and they're all about the same price. So is there anything special one has that the others don’t, or is it just personal preference?

Not exactly. I've heard only good things about it. No throttle sticking issues like the FAST one.

Also check out the BlueMaxx throttle body from Vengeance. I've got it and hopefully will have it installed tonight if my coolant crossover tubes get delivered.
