I'm in the process of getting a 90mm tb for my truck. I've been dealing with blackbear for my tune. Is the standard set up for this the 90mm silver blade throttle body and x-link?
Also thinking of getting an Airaid air box if anyone thinks the standard air box will be a restriction. I would get just the box and plug the intake tube from my magnuson into that.

the x-link allows the blade to open 100% as compared to the 85% without

 

Heard most ppl have the best luck with the silverblade. For some reason im able to run a gold blade with my xlink. Had a 87 that went rep fairly often with the same xlink.

 

Sorry to thread jack. I just put a gold blade 90mm tb on my truck. Its a 2010 silvarado 5.3 nnbs. What is an xlink?

 

Okay.....That's what I thought. I was just wondering if anyone built a better mousetrap since the x-link... What about the air box idea? The Maggie came with a k&n filter for the stock air box. Do you think there will be any gains there? I did cut some holes in the front side and bottom to let more air in.

 

See the above post on the x-link. It is a wiring harness/adapter to fit the plug in on the truck and the plug in on the throttle body. One has 6 and one has 8. It also adjusts the voltage to give 100% throttle opening. I'm not sure if it applies to your truck or not. Maybe someone wiser than me well chime in.

 

Ok thanks stealth. Im interested in knowing more. If I need to do an xlink on my truck.

 

The X-Link allows the newer throttle bodies (07-13 trucks LS2/LS3/7) to be used correctly in the older trucks (99-07)

 

Jason. i have the same one forr my truck. just put it on. you will
need to reset the PCM for the bigger TB, in HPTuners there is a
TB size adjustment setting. this is what i was told.
>ETC area scalar for larger TB/ TB area calculation< try from .0158-.0190

 

Ok thanks turbo. Ive been havin idle issues also.
