What's the latest on the RX ported throttle body - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

A big surge of feedback when the first few came out and now nothing for over a week, still waiting on mine. Did they run out of cores or waiting on more to be machined?

Those of you that have them how are they doing now that you have had them on for awhile?

I need mine to get here before I'm stuck on a field exercise for 4 weeks... send in your damn cores!!!!

I'm honestly really surprised how much of a difference the ported TB has seemed to make. The throttle response is noticeably better, acceleration feels better in lower RPMs, etc. For the price, I feel like it was a great "bang for buck" enhancement to the car. I'd definitely recommend it to others. It's not a "WHOA OMG THE CAR IS SO MUCH FASTER!!!!!" feeling, but I definitely notice it while driving around.

I will be getting mine soon. My core will be there at the shop the same day. I will be getting it put on at Tracy's shop lol. Lucky to live close by.

Indeed you are. Still waiting on mine but I know they are cranking them out as fast as possible. It'll get here when it gets here (soon, I hope).

I'm in the same boat...still waiting. Definitely worth the wait from what I've been reading though...I ordered mine from Ivan on 8/8 so hopefully not much longer...I'll have my core sent back within a day of receiving it...

Anyone that has one on I know it improves throttle response on the low end how is it say at 3 to 4,000 RPM? Also how has it affected your gas mileage?

It improves across the board, really. It's more noticable in the lower end because (according to the dyno graph) it's a 10+ tq increase in the low end. But even when you're cruising on the freeway, you don't feel the need to downshift as much when you want to accelerate or pass.

Thanks, I can't afford both the TB and a CAI at this time, I was thinking of getting the TB and using the K&N filter I took out of my 2010 Camaro for now.
