The considerable angle of the LT intakes can cause issues routing inlet plumbing and clearance to aftermarket accessory brackets. One option is to mount the throttle body upside-down, BUT this changes the air flow to the intake and can cause poor cylinder distribution and drivability issues.
The 717-15 levels the throttle body for these swap applications without changing the flow the GM design intended. Other four-bolt intakes with routing issues can also benefit from this adapter.
Low RPM correct Low RPM with throttle body upside-down
LT car intake blade orientation shown above. Other LS and LT are reversed but the same effect applies.
Benefits:
• Maintains proper throttle body blade orientation.
• Eliminates drivability issues associated with inverting the throttle body
• Allows clearance to aftermarket accessory brackets
• No harness rerouting or extending required
• Allows use of cable operated & other throttle bodies on Gen-V 5.3L Intakes
Intake applications:
• Works with both truck and car LT intake bolt patterns
• Works with all 4-bolt LS intake bolt patterns
Throttle body applications:
• Works with up to 95mm intakes and throttle body openings. Does not work with larger openings.
