Upgrading Throttle body worth it?
My car isnt FI, and I heard typically those folks see gains but not us naturally aspirated guys. Im running out of upgrades before Im left with deciding on cam/heads vs. a blower. If its worth it I may snag a 102mm or save up for 3.91 gears for the torque. Thoughts?

102mm is too big for stock intake manifold, 95mm is perfect for stock manifold and that even requires slight porting on the manifold to get a smooth transition

3.91 gears will make city driving alot more fun...Have you thought about a ported TB as an option as well?

I'm also considering a throttle body and E85. I need to contact Bo White for his opinion on. His TB vs. say BBK 95mm..

Get in touch with Bo White and get one of his ported throttle bodies. It doesn't make as much of a difference on throttle response on a LS3 as it does on a L99, but it does still make a difference. For a L99 it should almost be a mandatory upgrade as those things in stock fashion suck for throttle response.

Port it. There is a bunch of material to remove.

BBK 95mm and port your own manifold the 2-3mm at the snout for maximum power gain from PTB mod
