Anyone not notice the ported TB after adding long tubes headers? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As the title says....I know the TB doesn't provide gains vs headers plus a tune but it seems like its not a noticeable after the headers...

I'm still in the re learning phase but just curious

Do you already have a ported intake?

Noo

I feel like the ported IM takes precedence over a ported TB once it's installed. I'm not even going to install a TB now, my throttle response is pretty much instant with the manifold and spacer combo.

Yeah as far as gains go, but it was cheaper for me at the time...are you a manual keeve?
I never thought I had a dead spot but the TB helped a little bit

I dunno. I had the headers first and then installed the TB and i noticed a difference.

Nah, I'm A6, so my dead spot probably wasn't as noticeable as yours.

This is about the only bolt-on mod left for me to do now and I have been debating whether it is worth it now or not......I'd at least like it for the painted option, but could just paint my stock one for a lot cheaper.

I think it's the opposite as far as the auto having it but I don't recall exactly....bone stock my manual was pretty responsive...

I never really had a dead spot like others have said but to me it was cheap and relatively noticeable gains....I think it's worth it but not high on the list

I got it for the painted aspect too and thought the better throttle response was an added bonus lol.
