How come is it just that there aren't any or it wont give me any sort of performance gain..? Maybe a HSV type would be the go... or do you hav to go back to the old cable?

have you tuned the thing yet, if not get into that, install a 25% UD balancer and maybe some 1.8rrs they all do massive improvement the stock throttle body is good for 330rwkw n/a with the right cam, also its bigger then the cable ls1 setup

If you really want one I have a brand new one 90mm $150 But its from a LS2 so dont know if it will suit what your after? Pm if you want it.
I would but i dont think it would fit though, think the LS1 is a 3 bolt throttle body where as Gen 4 v8's are 4 bolt, but thanks for the offer.. if only there was a way to make it fit...

I don't know of any that are a direct bolt on
If you use a 3 bolt to 4 bolt throttle body adaptor on the stock 3 bolt manifold you can use any larger fly by wire throttle body from an LS2, L76, L77, L98 or LS3....Yella Terra and Nick Williams also manufacture aftermarket fly by wire throttle bodies.
For it to work though you will need to use a throttle body wiring harness adaptor that suits the throttle body you intend to use, as these other 4 bolt throttle bodies are wired with different plugs (and more pins in the plug) compared to the factory VZ LS1 fly by wire throttle
