Default Z06 Throttle Body Size

Does anyone know what the diameter is on a stock Z06 TB? I am hearing how the new ZR-1 TB is 95mm and what a difference it should make, just wondering what our TB size is? I know there is a fine line between TB sweet spot size and going too wide where it can really hurt overall power and throttle response.
Please weigh in?

Mamo measured 100 cfm more air he takes the lip away that causes turbulence.

I have the Mamo PTB and a BMS filter, both mods got me 583 HP and 612 TQ at the wheels.

cfm is not a size.

if you meant it can flow like a larger TB then maybe.

Good to hear, I have the BMS filter and working towards getting the Mamo PTB. Those will be my only mods. What year is your car?

That is what "should act like a larger unit" means .
No one said CFM is a size. Check your critical reading!

you didn't say "should act like"

you said "equal" which connotes a precise measurement and no where did you allude to airflow, the post you quoted was "87mm" not "xxx cfm."

so now admit you don't know how to put your thoughts to words and expect people to read your mind and move on with your day.

You can't admit you want to be your old self and argue my point was right along! Don't worry I know how you are you haven't changed a bit! Move on yourself!
