Hi Jman, welcome to the Gadgetman forum!
For more info re: your Chevy look in Index tab top left corner, under GM vehicles. A number of posts have been made re: Grooving GM V-8 vortec TB's.
Sometimes once done the TB will make a whistle sound, to be taken as a sign the Groove is working.
Ron has taught that the first step is NOT to clean the TB before Grooving it. This applies more to Computer drive by wire version, computer sets idle throttle position, which is different from engine off. The black carbon deposit behind the throttle blade is tell-tale to show the natural idle posit. of throttle blade. Usually the Groove wants to be just a tad downstream of idle closed throttle positition. Others here have more expperience w/ the vortec's than I.
Dig into Ron's training DVD hard. Read all you can find in the back sections of this site. Also check Service bulletins section more good info there. And there's Ron's Youtube vid's I know there's several on there of Vortec's
The V-8 Vortec will be large bit. Expect to cut thru the casting near either end close to throttle axle, and AVOID the axle shaft with the bit. Examine the casting thickness at the shaft ends-you can pre-build up some JB Quick epoxy in those areas let set up before you cut Groove, then if ya do blow thru it will merely cut into epoxy a bit, yet still be sealed.
After cutting your Groove check your work w/ flashlight to see if there are any cut-thru's, this applies to ALL Grooves you do in anything. Any holes you find in the casting--patch w/ JB or other metal epoxy then gently touch up Groove to remove epoxy that oozed into Groove.
And if your Chevy has more than 50K miles(I don't know how that is in KM) then likely the O2's are headed out, all of 'em. O'2's are fuel controllers. Worn old ones will reduce gains from Grooving.
Also look at what is to be found here re: PCV re-routing, to increase manifold vac. Manifold vac. and attendant increase in fuel vaporization is what the Groove is all about!
Welcome aboard, and dig In!
