Lee, a 1000cfm throttle body is 58mm. That is a terrific price if it is for real.

yep and billet even not just cheap casting like most are. my only concern is that the upper and lower plates dont seem to be included and i assume the top plate is probably no big deal as its possibly just a normal design but i am wondering what it takes for the bottom plate.

dont like dealing with the auction site, here is a direct store link to the throttle body. CLICK HERE
as for the snout to air hose adapter (for lack of better term), it would be like this shows.
so basically something like this , looks easily fabricated..

The complete kit looks pretty nice. I am not at the power level to need 1000 cfm. I still have the original with 165k miles. I know it will give me problems eventually. It would be nice to get a good deal like that.
