Re: LT1 TB on TPI intake
Stock TB on an LT1 is 48mm also...don't think you would gain anything from doing the swap. We usually go to a 52mm TB...bore out the stocker and what not as the 58 tends to be a bit much unless you have serious head/intake/exhaust work to flow that much.

Re: LT1 TB on TPI intake
Also the LT1 throttle cam is completely different (still works)
The bottom vacuum port is missing on LTx TBs and the TPS/IAC connectors are the newer style
