Throttle Body question
Besides the 62mm TB that you can buy for 400$ new, what other TB would fit directly at the place of the stock one ?
Maybe I could find one in a junk yard from another car, but I dont know which would fit.
My point is that I dont have 400$ to put on the TB this year and would look into a cheaper solution for now if theres an alternative.

Get one from a grand-am 95 2,3 H.O. they are 57mm instead of your 52mm and they do fit on your intake. That's what I did back in the old days when I had the twin cam... after I put the complete intake system of the 2,3 H.O. grand-am and that made a big difference above 3000rpm till the redline
