Throttle body

I have a 98 with borla stingers and a blackwing intake...is a aftermarket throttle body a good performance upgrade. Is it worth it?

NO! Not for a stock LS1 with your level of mods. Your wasting your money.

You could port and polish it and call it done. Don't look for any gains, just better throttle response. This is all you'll ever want... if anything
