Throttle Bodey

Does anyone know how many Millimeters the stock throttle body is on a 85 Camaro 305 TPI.

Thanks

Its the same size on a 305 that it is on an L98, LT1, and RamJet 502. The "502" makes over 500HP with the 48mm TB, so don't start thinking that it is a restriction to power....

What can be even more confusing is that the NASCAR and Winston Cup 358 CID engines are making over 700 HP with only four 7/8" diameter holes in the restrictor plates - less free area than a double 48mnm throttle bore by a big margin.
