    check the classifieds, i found my N* on CGP brand new for 200$ complete. but to answer your question, you will need the
    throttle body
    LQ4 maf
    adapter plate for your blower ie. Gen3,Gen5
    linkage bracket
    silicone couplers
    good luck!

    Well it wasent one of you're choices and is a little higher in price but i have the 78mm TB from ZZP.

    It's the biggest,Best fitting one out there. And if you're not outflowing you're stock MAF yet then you wont need to buy a LQ4 MAF with the ZZP MAF as you're stock one will bolt right up as well as everything else like cables ect. It is the only part I can think of besides the poly mounts that i have not considered changing. And that's a good thing.


    Either way you're going to need to tune.

    What I don't like about N* throttle bodies is no cruise (I use cruise on long trips home). Anyone worked that out, or is it not an issue with LS1?

    No, I know there are N* setups out there with no cruise too. I guess it all depends on who makes the parts...

    Why would a N* or a LS1 set-up have no cruise?

    The few I've seen in person the "peg" for the cruise cable to latch on to was in the wrong spot, the wrong size, or not there at all.

    Then somebody needs to purchase the correct throttle body for the setup next time then. I have cruise control on my N* setup, I even had cruise control on my wrong year model N* setup. One of the cars around here has a LS1 set-up as well with cruise control. Neither of them should be without it.

    See, that answers my question that there are different setups available and not all are like that. Thanks.

    Well do you guys think i even nned one my setup is Wizaired CAI with the k&n, 3.4 pulley, 3 in catted downpipe, full 3in exhaust from zzp, p-log, 180% t-stat, and a dhp 1.0 pcm m the reason i ask is because sometimes when i let off the gas when im going around 30 mph the rpm's will drop down to about 1000 Rpm's then drop down to 500-600 rpm's like its gonna die and then shoot back up to 1000 sometimes it will do this a couple times untill i hit the gas then its fine anyone ever heard of anything like this? and also it done this before the pcm so its not the tune

    Thanks

    YUP...I am the "car around here" with the LS1 setup and I definitely have Cruise!...if I get a chance later I will grab a picture of the TB and post it up here.

    personally I think the Northstar setup is an easier install but it wasn't available when I purchased mine.
