What size is the LS3 throttle body?
90-mm
The factory LS3 was designed to accept the stock, GM 90-mm throttle body. The throttle body opening actually measured 3.698 inches (nearly 94 mm). To get things started, we installed the FAST 92-mm throttle body on the stock LS3 intake.
How do you size a throttle body?
The easiest way to measure a throttle body size is to measure across the inlet for the diameter. On a twin application, this would be the widest point. Using a tool like a dial caliper is the most accurate way to take this measurement.
Does a bigger throttle body use more gas?
A bigger throttle body means more air Car ID reports that “packing more air into your engine allows more fuel to be burned, which creates more power.” Fortunately, there are sensors on your engine that monitor its air/fuel rate, so you car’s ECU should be able to compensate for the added air.
Is 90mm throttle body too big?
90mm is to big for your stock motor. I would go 65mm-70mm. Those will work well if you add heads and cam as well.

Will LS3 throttle body work on LS2?
Yes, the throttle position sensor inside the throttle body reads the correct voltage and percentage. Driveability is great, like the stock silver blade LS2.
Does cleaning your throttle body improve performance?

How big is the 92 mm throttle body?
The FAST 92-mm throttle body measured 3.540 inches in diameter, considerably smaller than the nearly 3.70-inch opening in the LS3 intake. We couldn’t help but wonder if there was more power to be had from a larger throttle body?
How big is the throttle body on a lsxrt?
Using the adapter, we installed the FAST 102-mm, Big-Mouth throttle body. The 102-mm throttle body will come in handy once you decided to get serious about power production or utilize an intake, like this Fast LSXRT, designed to accept a 102-mm throttle body.
What kind of throttle body does a Ly6 have?
Equipped with the 92-mm FAST throttle body, the modified LY6 produced 546 hp at 6,600 rpm and 494 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm. The factory LS3 was designed to accept the stock, GM 90-mm throttle body.
What kind of throttle body does the LS3 use?
The LS3 intake was designed to accept the factory 90-mm DBW throttle body, but we equipped it first with the FAST 92-mm throttle body, then stepped up to a larger 102-mm Big Mouth using an ICT TB adapter supplied by Summit Racing.
