Default Looking for a new throttle body

About a month ago, I reached out to the forum because I was running reduced engine power. I shared the codes and everyone was very helpful and I ended up taking it to two different shops in order to confirm it being the throttle body. The shop said that they could source a new one, but since they're so hard to source And they would upcharge the price, it would come out to be pretty expensive. Does anyone have any links or directions to where I could get a new throttle body for my C5 Corvette? She's been down for about a month and a half and I was trying to not spend a fortune but at this point I just wanna get a quality part to get her running. Any pointers?

If you need just the TPS sensor why are you wanting to change the whole throttle body ??…you can get a TPS sensor on Rock Auto for around $55.00 !!

I must have missed it but which TB are you looking for? LS1, LS2?

I just swapped my LS1 out for an LS2 and Fast92 intake...LS1 TB worked great (just needs to be cleaned up if you want to PM me with a reasonable offer.
