On an LS engine do you have to use a computer to be able to use the factory or FAST style intake or can you purchase a TB that will spray the fuel using such as carb linkage for throttle position? I know probably stupid question but this is all new to me. TIA

there is no fuel in a normal throttle body, just air. They did use injectors in the throttle bodies on the old TBi setups, but they still use a computer for control. If you're using a throttle body you'll also be using a computer for engine control.
