I think they're 48mm just like us. IIRC you cannot use an LT1 TB on any TPI b/c of something or other, i forget, lol, do a search, hehehe

thanks ED from what i have heard so far they are 48mm which also leads me to beleive that my 305 TPI should be fine because there are LT1`s doin great with a 48mm

Oh yeah man, you don't realistically need to start thinking of TBs till you're in the 12s, or at least real low 13s. The only reason you see so many slow cars with TBs is cuz it's one of those easy to do mods that somebody who wants to blow money goes for so they don't have to get dirty doing a cam swap, etc.
