What are you using for a throttle body?

[snappytravis]

Just about ready to order a throttle body, I have a ls3 413 with lysholm 3300 supercharger. I am curious what you guys are running for throttle bodys. I have seen the fast 102 bigmouth as well as holleys new 105mm and a few custom built ones as well. I would appreciate any feedback as far as any issues anyone has had if any.
Thanks Travis

Stand by my comments posted here. Can't beat stock ETC 90mm.

Holley puts out a quality product.

A 90mm TB won't be that far behind a 102/105mm unit unless you are looking for peak #'s. The smaller unit should be a bit more responsive in the low/mid range if you care.

The Fast throttle bodies have very small iac ports which limit airflow before the iac motor is out if range. This usually leads to cold start issues on larger cammed engines even after hot idle counts are minimized.

For cable driven or dbw I have the best results with Nick Williams. (If stock is not sufficient size, and it often is)

Not picking on you Sean -- but when air goes from small to large -- it looses velocity.... And velocity is important for torque.... which is why smaller stuff usually builds better torque (although then runs out of air at higher RPM's so the drop off in HP).


I'd try to keep an intake the same diameter as the TB.... if there's no room I've seen a two into one...


Real world --- the small (tiny) air cleaner on the '33 Ford -- kills about 100 HP on the dyno.

Well, this explains A LOT. Good info!
