I currently have the Solar throttle controller and ready to add the throttle body but don't know what one I need?
I have a 2016 ZO6/ZO7 with the blue air filter the AFE x-pipe without cats and a diablo tune.
Do i need the stock 87mm version or the 95mm version? Thanks!

What KGrant said above is correct. The choice comes to whether you are tuning or not. If not tuning, the 91mm (-080) is the one, if tuning we recommend the 100mm (-100). Do not hesitate to email or call shall you have any more questions. Thanks!
Installed mine today and it really makes a difference. I'll join the chorus of people very happy with this mod. Still not quite as responsive as I'd like, so I'll probably try out the TC with it.
OK, I get it . . . .
so what do you suggest I complete the 'raw' air delivery system with?
The are many 'intake systems' (cold air) which are available as well as intake tubes . . . . what works best together?
I'm starting from dead stock with a stock ZR1. Can you, will you suggest the "best" upstream parts to put ahead of your Throttle Body for max effect?
Thanks to Mike at Soler! Just got off the phone and he pointed me in the right direction for a TB and the controller. Looking forward to the install and performance gains!
It is exactly the same process on an LT1 as on an LT4.
The only semi-tricky aspect is getting the wrench or socket to each of the four bolts holding the throttle body on the intake. This just takes a little patience.
As with most projects working on a car, it is straight-forward, made a little challenging only because it is on the car and not sitting on your workbench.
It’s pretty straightforward in removing 4 bolts, one plug and loosening to clamps.
The one bolt underneath left side of TB is recessed or not easy to see and is the one you need patience to get your socket on to remove and need slight patience.
A mechanic would have it off and on if in a hurry 15 minutes. Probably took me 25 minutes total but that’s because I have a supercharger that got in the way but a novice on stock set up shouldn’t take more that 30-60 mins max.

I know everyone keeps saying it is easy but I am the true definition of new to working on cars let alone my first corvette.

What are your impressions in terms of performance / drivability?
I'm still in the computer relearn process and I'm not a mechanical genius but I've noticed a little smoother shifting at all speeds. Also a quicker throttle response. I'm driving in spurts and driving it a little harder than I normally would. I have another 10 mile jaunt tomorrow and it should be "broken in"! I wasn't expecting much but I got more than that. It kinda woke up the car.
I only go to car shows and cruise ins but from reading 100% positive reviews I couldn't not try it. Most people also get the throttle controller but I'll probably pass on that.
I emailed Mike twice and he answered in an hour. I made a purchase and in an hour he said my TB was shipped. It arrived in three days.
