must be the pics. it was a normal stock LS1 tb which are all 75. was going to do a fast 90mm but not worth it. this will be plenty big.
Nice, we're gonna start an LS1 tb club

Hey Vince do you have tinny hands like the guy in the burger king commercial? cause if you do that part needs to find its way to my house here in Texas so I can hold it for ya
Good luck Bro. cant wait to see the finnished product. Hey you need to bring that sexy car down here to Texas for our lonestar bash May 1st. (then I may give you that part back LOL) but none the less looking good.

ha i have man hands, sorry to disappoint. and cant make it may first. thats the first day the new setup should see the track
with some more goodies on the car that is... its a private rental so we have the track to ourselves from 9:30-2. gonna have to make it to that since its 45 minutes away
otherwise id love to make it down.
Is it still a 75mm throttle plate?
^^ I talked to the same guy that did Vince's TB. He said stock 75mm isn't true 75mm. It's 72.1mm. With his port work he makes it TRUE 75mm.

I was asking since it looks like stock throttle plate and when i measured mine i think i did get 75mm.I can see the difference after throttle plate.
i got the 75mm tb ready to go in the basement lol
I guess that makes sense to brads question. yes the new is true 75mm. and the half retainer opens up airflow even more. he told me the cfm increase but i cant recall what he told me just by removing the plate. but a lot less turbulence as well. well worth the price for the guy to do it. and the polished iac is very nice looking as well. Price was under $100.
^^^ yeah. i thought the one on the right looked smaller but figured it was just the polishing that was altering the way it looked.
thats good to know on the size though. its cool you now have it larger...
i dont get how they 'port' out 3mm though... that kind of increase requires a larger blade.

its almost like one of those mysteries lol. i wonder too where they find the material to take out.
after seeing a nasty honda hatch tonight, and riding in a evo x, im pretty content for a while
oh yeah and FYI, fetter now has my car in his possession.
