Default Throttle body

What are the differences in the LT1 and LT4 throttle bodies? Can the OEM Z06 throttle body be installed on the LT1 and if so does it require a tune? Are there any benefits?

The Z06 has the same TB, the TB of the ZR1 is bigger in diameter.

I agree the stock is 87 mm the zr1 is 95mm unless you are going to a blower set up don't mess with it on just a bigger T.B. on the car at all. Robert

if its off a z06 its just better because it came off a z06
but seriously at the min you want a ported 87mm tb, no tune required.
the ported stock size i put on from soler did help with my low end drivability which is what i wanted.

I installed a Katech 95mm TB on my 2014 Z51 that's modified with a Vortec supercharger, what I noticed right away was a bit quicker response at the gas pedal, nothing drastic but a seat of the pants feeling, no tune needed.
