Default Question regarding larger TB

I just put a 94 LS TB (60mm) on my boosted Z6... The idle readings went VERY rich (10:1), but the boost portion of the map seems fine. No leaks, nothing like that. What would cause the lower portion of the maps to richen up other then a loss of vac (changes map reading at idle)? Vac still holds strong at 21 at idle...

well i dont know about swapping throttlebodies but you should just be able to adjust your low cam map and be good.

i once had an exhuast cam a degree or two off. when i noticed it and fixed it i had to tottlly redo my whole map. it funny how much one thing can effect your tune.

No, see... I know HOW to correct the problem, I am asking if this is a common thing to see from a larger TB? I've never messed with larger TB other then stock and to see the readings richen up this much had me a little shocked...

Did you have to swap over the TPS or is it the one that was OEM attached to the TB?

Found the problem. Oring for the map sensor was missing. It was creating a pretty large vac leak. Even though the gauge still showed 21" at idle... I could cover up the whole tb and the car would still idle. Anyways, oring is in, problem is solved.
