Were app 2 weeks or less out for the final testing and then we will post the results here. I can say it exceeded the LLT version even w/out the final cuts!!! Still room to get in on the pre-order, pre-pay batch!!!!

Any progress toward being able to post before and after numbers?

Any estimate as to start of shipping?

Thanks,

John B.

Yes, cores returned to Bradenton/Palmetto.

Just waiting for the CNC shop to finish and will post the final #'s. I expect 10 days or less (I hope!!!)

Can anyone take me to throttle body school?
Am i going to get low-end benefits?
MPG?
Does a "port" job (giggity) involve smoothing the route the air takes?

Sounds like this is going to be a "must-have" mod

Most that have driven the LLT or LFX have noticed a "dead spot", or sluggish feel when first hitting the throttle and between 1200-2400 RPM cruising,

The VMax CNC throttle body uses CAD designed "cuts" or machined texture (think golf ball effect) to break up the surface tension allowing a quicker off idel transition as well as much improved velocity and flow for a pretty drastic improvement. Search VMax Throttle Body and read customers feedback.

There is also a 1-3 mpg improvement, and increases in RWHP & TQ. The LLT version gaives 3-5 rwhp gains, but the LFX has surpased that (will post final results as soon as we can get on the dyno when the machine shop finishes the first batch).

SO, very noticeable throttle response and great low-end torque as well as a few RWHP in the upper RPM range.

Wow this sounds promising. What's the price?
