Default Throttle Body Size Same For All Model Years?

Did the LT5 use the same size throttle body for ALL model years?

I recall reading some articles regarding TB's with larger ports.

I think they are all the same. People have been modding them to larger throttles over the years and is known to make a few hp IF you have other supporting mods.

Marc Haibeck provides a mod service whereby the TB is opened to 63mm with new butterfly plates installed.

As Mike mentioned, in concert with certain other porting upgrades, (Dynojet) data, Marc claims an approx 6-8 rwhp increase resulting from the 63mm upgrade.

OK, that is where I heard it. I read so much stuff I lose track of where I originally got the info. At first I thought it was just porting but then it seemed that the blades were bigger as well.
