Default LS1 Intake and LS1 TB
I have tried searching around and maybe I missed something but I have a deal for an ls1 intake with ls1 TB...I was wondering what modifications to the TB would be needed if any to make it work on our cars with the LS1 intake. That is about the only thing holding me up from buying it all.

Thanks in advance guys

With the factory LS4 ECM's, you have to run an electronic (DBW) throttle body.

The ls1/ls6 throttle body works just fine as long as its a dbw one i have the ls1 tb on mine and love the response i get from it the only mod is the heater lines just have to cut the bracket and twist them so there vertical from the tb and u will also need a spacer that i love it looks good and makes a bad *** whistle when u crack the throttle if u want pics of my setup let me know ill help how ever i can
