VMax TB V6 R2: Review V6/Manual Transmission
Hi Forum , I know a lot of really excellent post have been made regarding the TB but I wanted to share my experience
 Before I begin I want to say a big Thank You to Tracy at RX Performance who graciously installed this TB at his shop along with my Catch Can1) Having driven only 4 cylinder manual cars before, I found my quick clutch driving style in my Camaro produced an embarrassing stumble (go forward a very small ways, power drop out completely, car than surges forward) off the line if I was not careful with both. This TB is really incredible. I can now let the clutch up quickly and be pressing the gas pedal quite a ways down and I now smoothly launch of the line with no stumble and a lot more forward momentum. Improvement: Smooth Line Starts 2) My daily commute includes a freeway driving portion (which is always my favorite). When going into 4th from 3rd my Camaro always feels very strong and just keeps surging forward. 1rst to 2nd, you can top out 1rst really really quick and shifting into 2nd at any rpm range I always felt that it wasn't on the same level as a 3rd to 4th shift. I didn't really get that feeling of continued power/surge. The TB for me was able to eliminate that 1rst to 2nd lag I felt and now from 1rst through 4th it one amazing smooth surge forward. Improvement: Smooth Acceleration Through Each Gear Change In closing, for me this TB from the elimination of the stumble at a green light to an unending flow of power through each gear change has made huge improvements over an already incredible driving experience. On a side note, the RX Catch can is really incredible. An excellent designed system, very very efficient, and looks great sitting in the engine bay. At 3,500 miles my Camaro had a small amount of oil in the intake manifold oil catch, which will now be eliminated. I am extremely happy with both of my purchases from RX Performance, and highly recommend RX Performance to those looking into purchasing both of these mods. Just send a pm to SC2150.

Who has it on sale for 300 with the cable?
Are you selling your cable gman? Or is this through some provider? Would it include the free tweaks from Vince still?
