Since the original question does not resemble English I'll try this for an answer:
52MM TBs are a waste of time on these motors. You need about 500CI before it becomes an issue.

let try it agend
Are the BBK 52mm thorttle body in spec? On my 85 now is a tpis came
with vett. Cleaned it. NOW idel is high.
Check .
1. vacuum leak with
B12 & propane no leak.
2. Timing 6 BTDC
3. EGR valve & Control Solenoid
4. P/N Switch
5. ICA try a minimun idel speed aujustment to high about 1200
RPM in Park & Drive about 850 nogo.
SO I think my TPIS has gone south.
I do not want to pay $350.00 for A POS!!!!

I have heard good things about Holley TB's. I just ordered a rebuilt unit off of eBay for $180 shipped. Has been bored to 52mm and new bearings inserted for the shaft. If all goes well, I'll be very happy with the price.

Maybe this will help in the future
Since I'm a first generation immigrant myself, I'm going to translate this into what I think he said since this approach used to help me personally. I'm NOT making fun of your writing but I hope this helps you in the future.
Let me try this again
Is a BBK 52mm throttle body worth the money I would spend on it?
I have a 1985 corvette which came with a TPIS brand throttle body.
After cleaning it, the idle is now higher than it was before.
So far, I've checked the following:.
1. I looked for a vacuum leak using B12 (??) & propane and found no leak.
2. I set the Timing to 6 BTDC
3. I checked the EGR valve & Control Solenoid (how?)
4. I replaced the P/N Switch (that shouldn't affect idle)
5. I reset the idle air control valve (IAC not ICA) and after doing that I ended up with an idle speed that was 1200 RPM in Park & around 850 RPM in gear . this is not good
SO I think my TPIS has gone south.
I do not want to pay $350.00 for A stock throttle body (which is not normally POS)
Jeeze I feel like EFI-CFI but again, this is meant to help so don't get upset.
