Yes and yes. Had one on my tvs1900 back in the day. Pretty sure you will need a DR-X harness to make it work too, which is $240ish.

 

[Smokymance]

Ahh...thats no good...whats the difference between the two? other than the ugly bulge sticking out the side...

 

[THE YETI]

Not entirely sure. But go big or go home.

 

[Smokymance]

Haha, im already home, and im trying to leave...so inquiring what the next tb should be!

 

[JennaBear]

Justin will probably be selling his Dr-X harness here shortly.

Tuned or untuned? Supercharged or no supercharger? I think his setup is different than yours Tony.

Unless they changed the plug the harness on my 2011 is the same for both tbs

I'm referring to your dyno claim of no gain.

 

[NORCAL SS]

stock tb ported going to a stock ls7 gained no improvement at all and sorry this was my tbss not esky.

im dynoing my truck again next week im hoping from 367/398 we get something like 380/410

 

[THE YETI]

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[NORCAL SS]

smokey i have a ls7 tb here used literally for 20 miles on my ctsv. I have a new blower and nw 102mm coming if your interested in it hit me up. it wil be better than stock but if you have a ported stock tb now dont wast eyour time

 

[Smokymance]

So this is what I'm getting from you guys:

Ported stock tb is the same as a stock ls7 tb. If that statement is correct, I will have to assume the best gains would be with a ls7 tb when its ported. I'm guessing the ls7 tb is bigger than the stocker L92 tb.

 

[NORCAL SS]

no not true. Ported stock tb will out perform the ls7 ie more flow and mine is much more responsive. But if you can get a deal on a ls7 to get ported by tony mamo at afr then your set.

Here is the link from my ctsv forum. Im running the stock tb ported by him much more responsive then stock
