Re: 5.3 FI swap... acting carbish?

Every stock DBC TB i've seen has a hole drilled in it. You need to have SOME base airflow other than the IAC. The IAC is more for adding air for cold start, and to stabilize idle with changing engine loads such as the transition into gear from P/N, AC kicking on and off, electric fan kicking on and off.

Sounds like maybe the TB porter swapped the DBC blade for a DBW blade?
