What size throttle body does the 96 vette have? Is it a 48 and is it worth the money for the 52?

All C4 TB are 48mm.
Are you doing any engine mods to justify the 52mm?

GM runs the 48mm on the big block Ramjet engine with no probs

For a stock engine, save your money.

I've only got the 52 on mine but it's fairly modified. (see sig) I had a 58 but got rid of it.
