I've got an 08 Grand Prix with the 3.8 V-6. I'm wanting to do just a little (yeah right) bit of performance modification, and my question is: Does the computer allow the throttle body to open up 100%? Any and all help would be very much appriciated.

yes, the PCM allows 100% throttle body and if it doesnt it allows 99% of it. dotn worry about that.
how much money do you have and how fast do you want to go?
08-08-2009
well........you could port and polish the stocker or upgrade to the N* or bigger if you prefer............fwiw

Actually the TB's in the 4 + are electronic. Not like our 97-03's. And unfortunalty ther is no room to improve on the porting or anything on the 04+ TB's. The best you can do on those is a polish job. And that will not be much of a gain at all.Originally Posted by Liquifire

sorry for the mis info then..............

It's no big deal. That's what we are here for. To learn. It would be nice if they had some room for porting like the 97-03 models do. But unfortunatly they don't. I guess you could say it's an improvement? LOL

Is it a possibility to bolt up and run a LS4 Electronic TB setup on the 3800 '04+ cars? I think those TB's are bigger...just not sure...and if so...think it would be worth the money to R&D something like that Parker?
08-09-2009
Possibly. Unfortunaly I know nothing about the LS4's though. I'm sure it's a possibility though as long as an adapter harness could be made.
08-09-2009
^that would be pretty cool
08-10-2009
it sure would... =) let me know if something comes along
08-10-2009
Sure. Not a problem. I think a newly designed TB that would allow use of the TB control box on the 04+'s would be a better alternative.
We're doing all we can to offer you guy's some new products. We have a list full and unfortunatly they usually come one at a time.
08-10-2009
no rush.. no worries i would rather have a good product than a rushed one... just make sure you post when you got something good i like what you do for the community and believe me, whenever i need something and if you have it... you have my business
08-10-2009
We apreciate that more than you know. Thanks

Well Parker...seems to me it looks pretty do able...with a little help from ol google I was able to pull this up.
The 1st pic is of the stock Cobalt SS (who upgrade to the LS4 TB when modding like we do LS1's and N*'s)...same bolt pattern and all...

Then here is a '04+ L32 TB...looks pretty puny compared to the LS4...

Seems like they did a pretty solid 4 bolt pattern on all of them too...which makes me wonder as I type this...the '06 LS2 GTO's were Electronic controlled throttle too...and...what do you know...same 4 bolt pattern. http://www.panteraefi.com/images/90MMSM150.jpg
I think I struck gold on this one...ideas have been rolling out of my head lately LOL Brian knows this one
08-11-2009

08-11-2009

08-12-2009
