Throttle Bodys

Hey

I have a 1985 IROC Z Camaro with a LB9 engine and a 3.42 rear end. I am wondering what the stock size throttle bodys were in the camaro LB9 engine. What would upgrading to a 52mm or the 58mm bodys do. Would it be worth while to get the bigger size. Would I have to get any other mods to upgrade to a bigger throttle body. Thanks

throttle body mods aren't worth it aside from an air foil on a stock engine. you should go to more stuff that works like exhaust mods, airbox mods, chip, coil, torque converter, etc.
