Throttle response improvement with vararam or CAI? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking for better throttle response without tune.
Have SS/M6 with muffler delete.
Will adding an intake make a noticeable improvement in throttle
response?

Thanks!

I have a ported TB on my car....I can hook you up with the guy who does them. We did not get a noticeable HP increase, but throttle response was better....For 100 bucks it is more the try...also you can fully polish the exterior also if you really want it to look good!

I don't have my car yet so I can't say for sure but at least on Mazdas, a good way to improve throttle response is a light-weight pulley kit. I don't know if anyone makes a kit for the Camaro yet but reducing rotating mass on the engine can improve the response. Another way is lighter flywheel; but then on Mazdas we aren't dealing with 426 hp and tons of torque so I don't know how much lighter than stock you can go on a high hp V8.

Yup, and it is called torque management.
