LS2 Intake Conversion Package Ideas? I know the intakes aren't floating around readily available yet, but after reading quite a few of the posts concerning fitting a LS2 intake with the 90mm TB on an LS1 motor, are there any sponsers currently considering putting together a package to simplify this mod? Between the different fuel rails, different sized injectors, the wiring mods needed for the drive-by-wire 90mm tb(unless you get the FAST 90mm unit), this would be package-worthy. Especially since the price difference between the LS2 intake and the FAST intake is, um, like $500?

doh......i'm retarded 
so i guess its a fast tb and an ls2 intake for us f-body ppl huh?
i suppose its less of an issue then, its just the mods to make the fuel rails work, as well as the injectors. whats the deal with those? anybody know what actually needs to be done, not just "well you need a bigger o-ring" but "you need an o-ring 3 sizes bigger, and you need to space the fuel rails in these 4 exact spots" et cetera.....just tryin to see what this would entail.

the gto incarnation will be a good option for us f-body folks when they do come out, but for the time being its FAST or bust i guess(tb-wise anyhow, i'm not so keen on tpis anyways). time will tell. and yes, there has been talk of just switching over completely to an ls2 style fuel system instead of trying to rig it to work w/ls1 injectors, by splicing the fuel line and hooking up the ls2 system, supposedly its pretty close to stock connection.
2 questions Is the '05 GTO TB available for sale yet? Any idea on what prices might be?
What about modifying a stock TB- what is the largest they can go?
Thanks
Ben

LS2 90mm Throttle Body Hi guys,
I picked up on this forum out of interest and market research. Right now, the company that I work for is in the development stage of a LS_ cylinder head that upon its introduction at SEMA will be the best head available. A lot of time and logic has gone into the research and development effort of this cylinder head, as Edelbrock has partnered with Lingenfelter Performance to incorporate their extensive backgorund and real world testing into the design, performance and quality of this piece. Now that the cat is out of the bag, you may just want to hold onto your cylinder head cash until you take a hard look at the Edelbrock / Lingenfelter cylinder head...it's going to be worth the wait.
Another one of our projects on the wishlist happens to be a series of LS_ throttle body. Now obviously, we are looking at the 90mm to mate with the LS2 manifold and would be able to bring to market a high-quality throttle body that won't damage your wallet too much. Please feel free to provide any feedback that I can share with R&D in the development of this and any other LS_ items that a company like Edelbrock can build to offer you what you need.
Thank you,
Jason Snyder.

As for TB's I think everything including the GTO will be drive by wire at thiis point, but since the motor is supposed to be in the truck, the SSR, and the GTO/Monaro, I will check with some folks that already have seen them in testing down under.
Interested to see what y'all do with heads. Just keep port size down and velocity up.
As for the TB, several folks make 90MM TB. You may wish to look ath the list on the Corvette forum, and here, etc... to see this list of issues folks have dealt with. Another thing you may want to do is look closely at the shape of the 90MM inlet on the stock GM TB. I think GM spent some time getting that right, and I think some of the other TB's have missed that and thus have some airflow issues.

definitely don't want to be another FAST and sell $450 tb's that have to be fiddled with for hours to get to fit, or be messed with so that it closes correctly, or so that the damn throttle blade even functions right. for $450 it should come ready to bolt on, not require a trip to a machine shop or 4 hours of your time.
