Throttle Body question ??
Hi All, I just put in a new air intake system and it's running good on my stock 2015 C7. Can I replace my throttle body with a larger one without having to do anything else to the car or would this mess timing and things up? If so, what size can I put in?
Thanks for your help in advance.

A larger throttle body will require a retune, a stock ported throttle body is fine to run on the stock tune. The ported will net you a few whp and improved throttle response. I went with the WeaponX on my car and have been impressed with the quality of their work (also have their ported intake manifold). Katech also offers a nice looking ported throttle body that I've seen them advertise on here.
