Ported TB
I'm thinking of getting one for my Camaro. Which brand should I get? Will I get a check engine light if I have a tune on my car? It's 2013 v6.

No CEL. VMAX is what comes to mind for stock size. There's also an 80mm TB available if you search for it.

Throttle response is more a tune issue. Overkill tunes resolve it. Will you get better response though, probably.

I’ve got similar mods as GhostrdrZ and noticed a bit of a decrease in low end acceleration when I switched to the 80 mm TB by Overkill. Mid/upper power did increase though. Then I switched to 3.91 gears in the back. Now, with that 80 mm Tb and gears, it seems like the absolute perfect combo for a terrorizing but reliable V6 Camaro. I agree with another knowledgeable post, I believe it was by Apex Motorsports, that a rear end upgrade is the biggest bang for the buck upgrade you can do on the V6s.

3.91 is a lot of gear for either the manual or the automatic V6. If you're an automatic you'll need to change the rear hubs, axles, differential and rear driveshaft (I think, not sure on that one) to the SS equipment to be able to use the gears.
If you're a manual you can use all the same gear options as the SS. |

All manual V6s have SS rear ends. It was a big deal when Richmond? came out with 3.55 gears for the 7.6" in the automatic V6s. |

Gotcha. I thought you meant LS going along with the L99 as in same rear end as the L99 and LS3. My mistake. Good point though. Automatic V6 isn't limited slip, manual V6 and all V8s are. Important. |
I bought a used 3.91 diff, axles, and the back half of a SS driveshaft from a member here in AZ for a bit north of $1k. Then bought new hubs (got a steal at $112/pair) and seals to go with BMR poly diff mounts. The rear end is solid and eliminated the wiggle in the V6 diff with rubber bushings. I read a lot of members & vendors who said “that’s a lot of gear for an auto.” But for me, it’s perfect. I was slightly nervous that first would be too short upon first drive, but it’s not at all. I do think GM should’ve offered the 3.91s in a V6 so buyers who were potentially interested could see how they felt. No change in gas mileage, either, and I do launch it hard semi frequently.
