I've called and emailed several GM dealers with "I don't know" or no replies to emails...and heard mixed emotions about that Holley one...but thanks...

If you've got a part number you can try http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ or maybe http://www.partszoneonline.com/index.php .

Just curious, why do you want a brand new one? Throttle Bodies are really easy to rebuild and the kit is only $25... I've picked up a TB from the junkyard for $40 and rebuilt it...

I think it needs new injectors, etc and I'd really like a warranty...

You'll probably have to go to the dealer and ask a parts guy. I don't even want to know what the price on one is though. Can probably buy new injectors, rebuild it etc. for half of what the dealer charges....

as a former GM parts counterman, i can tell you that unless your existing TB is cracked, or somehow damaged beyond repair, you do not want to buy a new one. might want to get in contact with Jet Performance, or Turbo City, i believe they both do high quality rebuilds. Turbo City offers matched injectors, and i believe some flow mods in their rebuilt TBs.
