Which one first -Ported TB or Black Ice O-Lator?

[Prime Time]

I'm looking to do another engine performance upgrade and have been contemplating on buying a ported TB and a black ice-o-lator. I would like to know which one I would buy first to get the best performance out of my 1LT and then wait to get the other part later.

Also- on Vmax's website the Ported TB costs $150 but they want you to select the $200 core (refundable). What do they mean you have to send back the TB core? what is that? Are they talking about me sending back my stock TB and i will get $200 back?

Thanks

EASY choice. If you read the second "Note" on the page you will see the ice-o-lator does not work for the 2012's. http://www.revxtreme.com/vmax-black-iceolator

They want you to send your stock throttle body back

The black ice doesn't exist for the LFX since the IM isn't aluminum. Second the core exchange refers to you get a ported one swtiching it for your stock and you sending the stock back. I do believe the tbs might be a little bit behind in production idk, last I heard Rx was swamped

The core is the original throttle body on your car now, that is how they get more to port and sell to others.

Also keep a watch out on here some vendors will post when they have extras in stock to order immediately. Mike Norris is good for that. I saw he had one available and jumped on it before anyone else and I had mine in less than a week.... You won't be disappointed in the TB it is one of the best mods for the money you can make on the LFX.
