Default throttle body
So I've been thinking about a performance throttle body for my 2000 c5, I have a zo6 exhaust, k&n cold air intake, and a hypertech reprogrammer. My question is, is it worth doing?

actually you will see some good throttle response out of a ported stock unit. i have a Shanner unit off my LS6 if interested.

I'm probably not going to get into doing any heavy mods like heads and cam but I'm just looking for a cheapish way to get a little bit more

The stock throttle body on an LSX is more than adequate for a stock motor.. any polishing, porting etc. is just hype...you wont notice anything because there isn't anything.. . The stock throttle body will deliver all the fuel and air needed.

Do you have any pics of it? I'm not 100% sure of what I'm going to do but I'd like to weigh out my options.

I agree with Bill. I was told by SLP that the throttle body was good up to 500 HP.
