    Hey everyone, long story short I am trying to put a L67 from a 1998 bonneville with a Gen V m90 into a 2000 camaro.

    My biggest roadblock so far is that the camaro is drive by wire. For now I was going to use the camaro
    throttle but the bolt pattern is different than the bonneville.

    So my question is what throttle body I can use in this situation?

    I was going to try and use the L32 throttle body but the connecter has 13 cables going to it
    opposed to the 8 cables on the camaro harness.

    My next guess was going to get a hold of a Ls2 throttle and try to adapt the 6 cable connecter to work with the 8 cable on the camaro.

    Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    whatever tb you use will need an adapter plate.

    Use an L67 throttle body from a 99-03 supercharged car. Best factory TB design. ZZPerformance sells the adapter plate. You'll have to cut up the GenV quite a bit anyways since the blower is longer than the GenIII.

    I'd honestly use a GenIII, so you don't need an adapter plate...and then you have plenty of templates from people that have added the 90* or more elbows on the back side of the supercharger. Not to mention the wiring is much easier, infact most of the sensors are direct swaps if I remember FBody's right. You can port the factory TB, and it'll be plenty of airflow for you, regardless of the setup. Especially if you're sticking with a blower and not tossing a turbo on.
