I did clean it. The center blade was bent and someone drilled an oversized hole in the blade. That’s why I was trying to find someone through the LS1tech forum that may be able to tell me where I could acquire a new blade. I agree most people know you can find a replacement at a junkyard. I didn’t ask for that... I guess you just needed to share something we all know. And your other comment “just clean it” was very helpful also. Not sure how you find yourself an authority on LS engines but I’d suggest letting others that may actually understand the question to comment. I really do appreciate folks on this forum that try to help others !

By my "just clean it", it should have been clear that reprogramming or tuning would be needed, as it should be the same tune as when the TB was clean. Just a bit of common sense if you think about it. Don't be so thin-skinned.
