Turn 180° TB inversion - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

what is the purpose of inverting the throttle body? with the supercharger pulleys, is restricted to the original area, but if the engine is not supercharged, can reverse the trottle body? no loss of flow or throttle response? someone made this inversion in camaro without the supercharger?

That looks normal.

Inverted without a supercharger... I would suspect they have a nitrous plate behind the TB and flipped it to clear the pulley.

Only way to install the TB when you have the Maggie or Whipple on your LS3/L99.

Otherwise it will not clear the pulley on the opposite side.

Does not affect performance and those kits both come with harness extensions.

Hope that helps.

thanks for the replies. I could reverse my TB? I have ported TB, wanted to modify the turn of my TB not own supercharger and nitrous

Thank's Ivan
