If you ever wanted to do it, being fly-by-wire it should be fairly easy to adapt a 90mm LS2 throttle body. The plenum will need to be modified extensively to go from 65mm to 90mm though.

Has anybody bored out the original throttle body similar to what EZboy did for the Magnas? I miss the sensitive throttle I had on mine...

Nothing was bored out, a lip was removed that constricted airflow until the butterfly was opened past a certain point. I loved the difference it made

Sorry, "bored" was the incorrect word to use. I think they were referred to as "flowed" as Zero pointed out.

Yep well mine was taken out to 70mm with a bigger butterfly & the throttle response is a lot snappier.

Thats not to say that someone else wouldnt notice......same thing gets said about flowing the 65mm 74 TB but i liked the off the line improvement.
Not sure how much meat there is left to bore out with the 75 TB if you wanted to fit a larger butterfly.
My 74 TB is now bored out & a 68mm 75 butterfly installed, but theres not enough material left to go any bigger with that!

Interested to see what difference it would make power/efficiency etc

I personally wouldn't bother unless you were going to Supercharge like me or just wanted to burn some money for better throttle response lol
