Unless your "bolt-ons" require more air then the GM 577 ci crate engine, I would not waste alot on time on the TB!

The guy thats building my 383 said that I should run a 52 mm tb. Im shooting for 400-425 hsp with around460 torque. Ive got everything else --super ram--forced air---headers and straight pipes back to my flowmasters

Notice the roller bearings on the shaft. David Koldos did mine. Check this post http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zero...761#1543882761 :steering:
