OK thanks dude

I do the install for free if your local. Also paint them to match your exterior if you like.

I'm 5 minutes south of the SkyWay bridge.

Jannetty Correct spelling LOL!

Any of them will be more than happy to help!

Thanks for the Recommendation, These have been selling like crazy I bought 20 new throttle bodies and we still can't keep up with the orders, VMAX is Excellent to work with and is turning them as fast as possible.

Brianskeet · 02-03-2011, 04:05 PM

I've had a VMax TB on my LS2 for a few years now, and it is a nice addition. No idle/code issues unlike some of the hand ported offerings

Brianskeet · 02-03-2011, 09:53 PM

Installed and took it out for the first post install drive. Roads were damp so I took it easy. The improved throttle response is wonderful. It feels much more precise now. It always had a bit of an on or off feel to it that I attributed to the drive by wire. That is totaly gone and feels much better. It really feels like I can make it do just exactly what I want it to. The big bonus was the improved idle. My L99 idles so slow that it always felt a little choppy. That is gone and she is smooth as silk now and still idles right at 500rpm. Can't wait for dry pavement to try a few launches!

is a tune required with adding this throttle body?

No tune required (according to other posts)

I ordered this VMax TB today, who knows how backed-up on orders they are though.

Unique Auto Depot · 02-03-2011, 10:21 PM

how hard is the install??

Unique Auto Depot · 02-03-2011, 10:26 PM

So on Janetty site if you do not choose the first option want a brand new Throttle Body (YOU MUST SELECT A CORE CHARGE IF YOU ARE NOT SENDING THROTTLE BODY UNTIL YOU RECIEVE PORTED THROTTLE BODY) +$100.00 does this mean you get a used 1 ??? Kind of confused
