Different generations of LS based engines came with different styles of
throttle body. They got better in time and more efficient and easier to
tune. Some have an IAC (idle air control) valve in the throttle body
itself that controls idle airflow. The newer blades do not, they control
idle airflow by just tipping the blade to a commanded point.
What this means to you?
This means that you have multiple options on the throttle body for your
application. The earlier models are a three bolt type, meaning they bolt
to the intake only using three bolts. The newer generation throttle bodies
are 4 bolt. Different vehicle also have different size throttle bodies,
and many aftermarket companies sell even bigger throttle bodies like the
102 mm. ICT Billet makes all kinds of adapters to make pretty much any
throttle body work with your application. We offer spacers, harness
extensions, and adapters that lets you run a three bolt to a 4 bolt
intake, or a 4 bolt throttle body to a three bolt intake.
