Throttlebody, or not?
Is it worth the money to install a new throttle body, such as BBK?
The car is a Camaro SS 2012 LS3 with CAI mounted, and Pypes exhaust. Is it worth 400 bucks, will I feel any difference? Thanks GUS |

Absolutely not ,you can save $250.00 and it works great .What you want to do is send your TB to Bo White . You will notice the difference . Bo's work is magnificent .

Contact jacfab in the v8 bolt on venders section. It'll be a while though but very worth it. $400 is just crazy

You can send him your tb and that'll speed up the process.

A better throttle body is an awesome upgrade! Love mine, please give it a shot, the feel is so much better.

Not worth the 400 hit up TampaTuning for a Vmax. Less than half that after you send your old one back

Let me put this in terms you can understand . The Bo White ported TB is built and finished like a Carl Gustav 1896 6.5x55 rifle. The workmanship is outstanding .
