52mm TB

I hadn't planned on it, but I ran across a deal on a 52mm ported TB that I couldn't pass up.

Is it worth the effort to install it on a cammed LT1 (Comp XE 227/233, 1.6 rr's, Hooker long-tubes, etc.) and get it re-tuned...or should I just wait until I pull the heads next winter?

Yes, it's worth it with what you've got, but I doubt it's absolutely necessary to get the car re-tuned with just that addition

Yeah...you're probably right about the tune. No real down-side to installing it now, then.

Thanks for the input!

Nope, stick it on. No tune needed.
