1985-1997 LT1/L98/LT4 58mm, 1050 CFM throttle body.
Easy question. Do you need more then 1050cfm for your 383ci engine??
If so, go with the "monoblade" with 1300cfm.
If not, why pay more for something you don't need?

I forget who explained it to me, but it came down to intake velocity, you want to keep it up. Its like sucking a coke through two straws vs. one.
