The Katech 87mm CNC-Ported Throttle Body for LSA and LS9 applications is engineered to increase airflow efficiency, throttle response, and overall engine performance on supercharged GM platforms. Precision CNC porting and Katech’s race-validated airflow development ensure smooth, consistent airflow while maintaining OEM-level driveability and electronic throttle control functionality.
Designed specifically for LSA and LS9 supercharged engines, this throttle body is ideal for high-performance street, track, and motorsports applications where increased airflow demand exceeds factory throttle body capability.
87mm throttle bore for increased airflow capacity
Precision CNC-ported inlet and bore for improved airflow efficiency
Katech-branded throttle plate with laser-etched identification
Maintains OEM electronic throttle control (ETC) functionality
Improved throttle response under boost
Designed for high-horsepower supercharged applications
Direct replacement design for factory LSA / LS9 throttle bodies
Each Katech throttle body is CNC-ported in-house to optimize airflow transitions and reduce restriction at the throttle inlet and bore. Porting is designed to maintain smooth airflow characteristics while supporting increased mass airflow required by higher boost levels and upgraded supercharger systems.
Unlike generic porting services, Katech applies race-proven airflow strategies developed through decades of GM LS-based engine development. The result is improved throttle response, reduced pressure drop, and consistent airflow across the full throttle range.
