Bo's Ported Throttle body

[2012LS3VERT]

I'll be installing mine while I'm on the dyno Tuesday.

And you're next going to post before and after dyno numbers right?

I am, yes. Whether or not I get gains. But I fully expect at least increased throttle response.

Since we are all sharing, I installed Bo's TB last week. Here's the before and after

Bo's

So if we already have a vmax, would it be worth while sending it to him for the shaft mod? Is porting equivalent to the two except he additionally does the shaft mod?

If and when I get around to doing it. I'll just use my previous dyno numbers as the baseline.

Bo's aren't spiral cut but they are very nicely ported. Whether they're equivalent depends on if you believe the spiral cutting actually does anything. IMO, there's absolutely no doubt that increasing the opening has to give gains. The question is how much. Seeing that both TB's dramatically change the way the car drives, it's hard to tell just how much of a gain you have and I don't believe in butt dyno's. lol

I guess I'm asking if I should send him my vmax for a shaft mod lol, can someone that knows him pm me a number so I could talk to him or something?

If you want the absolute most from your TB, then yes.

Bo was kicked off the site for being a nonpaying vendor so we can't give out his info. He's in the process of getting all that straightened out so hopefully he'll be back soon to give more detailed info and answer any questions. In the mean time Jacfab is carrying them, so you can PM him about anything you need.

I'll be getting a baseline before my headers install, hopefully next week, and since the only mod since the ADM intake is the TB, I'll know for sure and report back. I'm thinking Bo and Jason would also be interested in knowing.

The weather is changing pretty quick! You really should do tests like that same day.

[rich3fan]

It'll be the same month. Temp and humidity conditions will be about the same.
