Are you looking for two different answers?
Just wondering...
...They just HATE it when you ...POINT - LAUGH - then DRIVE OFF AND AWAY-!...
for the 96 you have to take the whole upper plenum to a machine shop. the throttle body is all one integral piece with the plenum. so either your car will be out of commission while the work is being done, or you can find one at a junk yard. now, as for gains, i doubt you'll gain anything so much as move your torque band a bit higher. you probably wont even see a difference unless you plan on boosting, or going for a complete all out N/A build. at which point, you'd have to get a different pcm, because hptuners doesnt support the 96 model cavs.

Bored 94-97 Throttle body. They're asking $275 for it though, and a local machine shop would hopefully do it cheaper. I'm not 100% sure the s-10 and cav share the tb, but that would be easy to find out if you go that route. As Rich said expect the powerband to move up, which for a daily driver like the 2.2 ohv I guess it depends on how you drive.
that throttle body will defineatly werk. but imo the price sucks ass
