LS3/7 Gold blade TB

[91parkave]

As some you may know already, these can swapped as well in addition to the truck throttle bodies, I am only posting this so that any myths about the TB blade opening reverse causing issues can be dismissed. If your in the market i suggest these throttle bodies over the silver blade any day, ill post my reasonings below.




The Gold blade TB throttle body as a shape thata better allows air to enter at part throttle and WOT. The way the ramp in the housing sits, allows no obstruction like the old silver blades had. The Silver blade has ramps on both sides. while both of these throttle bodies are 90MM the gold blade does the job more efficently and if you look at any calibration file you will notice a 5% over all increase in effective area.


These can be had brand new for cheap on amazon 134.00 bucks shipped

I don't remember the silver blade inlet being quite that brutal, thats pretty bad.

I'm going to try the gold plate on my G8 tomorrow if I can find the time, get some results for us to chat about.

Also worth noting that the LS7 was the silver blade, up until 2009 for the switchover, that's why our G8 GT is also a silver blade and its an 09
