Default 102mm throttle body for road racing?

Popular on the new FAST LSXr intakes. Does the big blade make it difficult to modulate the throttle coming out of turns or heel and toe? Seems you let in a lot more air with a lot less push on the pedal. Anyone running one one the track? I have an LSXr intake on my LS6 head and cam motor but I'm running a 90. I suspect the TB is bad since we can't tune the bitch and it has a mind of it's own. If I replace the TB I was thinking of going to the 102.

talk to Katech, but I believe the 102 TB can cause you to lose low end torque without a properly suited motor (large CI)

I'm interested in this as well, I'm not too crazy about big cams and drag stuff.

Turns out I got my chance to try out the new 102LSXr and 102 TB at Road America on my stock cube LS6. No problems with throttle control. Rolling out the throttle on track out felt just fine with no vague feeling of where you are. As far as torque loss, I actually picked up across the rpm range. As much as 6ft/lbs in the middle. 102 works fine on the road course.
