Default Z06 throttle body

Is the 2003 Z06 throttle body larger than the stock LS1 throttle body on a 2002 coupe?

Thanks

I don't think so..I wouldn't get caught up in thinking it would make a big difference in hp gains...ported TB barely do..Now the MAF might be better unless the LS1 is using an 85mm MAF now too.probably is.

Thanks.. this is good to know and yes I have been told by several tuners that the LS1 is now using the 85mm MAF. In fact many of the parts from the Z06 have moved over to the LS1. I hear the only good mod is changing the Air filter and possibly the bridge but tests have not proven that the bridge makes a huge difference for the cost. The one item everyone says is a great improvement is changeing the cat-back exhaust and possible the whole exhaust system from headers to cats.

Thanks for the info.
