There's no lag when I hit the gas and I can feather the pedal a little bit more precisely and feel the difference. Doesn't make a noticeable difference at WOT, like 6-10 HP.

Thanks brother. Enjoy the modification . that's why I always stock them

I might have to put this on my buy list

IMO these are a must for any LS3/manual Camaro. The down shift rev matching is so much better since you can actually blip the throttle to rev match rather than holding the gas or flooring it to get the rpm to jump.

Great choice. The VMAX throttle bodies are CNC machined for an identical cut and repeatable gains every time. Thank you for your order and the mention.

lolll

To the OP, the Bo White TB does remove that thingy in the middle that impedes air flow. The competitors don't do dat. Do the maths suckas.

Just installed a Bo TB today, this was the best $150 I've spent on the car. I was skeptical because after I put on a CAI, I felt nothing and lap times reflected that as well. As soon as I started the car, it was different with the TB, it revs quicker, down shift blips are awesome and I can feel a better acceleration in the seat of the pants. Track on Friday should reflect it as well. I can now hear the TB working where as before with just the CAI, I heard nothing. Can't compare the two, but I'm a happy camper.

I have a bbk 102mm but when i first installed it was stalling badly. So I took it off but when I changed my intake manifold to a Fast lsxr 102 and got a tune it works fine now. But I'm not sure if the rpms are still moving a little at idle.

Ok the suspense is killing me here, was this the Cold Air Inductions that you installed or an other type of cai?

Can't wait to hear what your lap times are with this TB (cigarette).

tw78911sc · 10-05-2014, 11:10 AM

Yes, it is a Cold Air Inductions, now you can hear the air getting sucked thru, people had said their noise went up after adding CAI, mine did not until I added the TB.

Any fuel mileage gains?

I doubt it.

We do stock them on the shelf.
Vmax is right here in Tampa.

I have one of Bo's "new" GM modified units I just got from him outright in yesterday's mail. Hopefully in a few days I'll get enough time off work to do a little wrenching on the car. I'll report back. My hope isn't about any power gains. It's about quicker low-end throttle response/better driveability.

Been interested in this as well.
