My VMAX has arrived!

My throttle body is here and was installed immediately. The first one I received was damaged and I had to send it back. The second one I received was in perfect condition and I even left work to install it. I told them I was going to get the package off my porch haha. I got to the house, installed it, and was gone in less than 10 minutes. It took about a month, but it was worth the wait by far. The throttle response is like night and day and I feel me using less pedal under normal driving. It paired nicely with the APEX scoop and RotoFab intake. I'm not willing to void my warranty JUST yet...but headers are next with some sort of exhaust.


First one sent :(


Second one sent lol


Considering one of these? Get it. Grab a scoop and intake if you don't have one yet either. Oh and a catch can cause your foot is going to be in it quite a bit the first few miles haha.

A ported throttle body is a great modification.

I'm glad I got it I just wish I had the balls to tune already. I won't tune without a set of headers and won't do either cause of warranty. I only have 8300 miles maybe around the 12000 mile range

Got the VMax from Apex and installed that with a Vararam No Tune intake and Power Wedge. Love the change! Very responsive. Very easy to install (Vararam intake was a bit more work though). Great change. Also added the JBA spark plug wires. Stainless Works Headers, hfc, muffler delete are on the list along with the GPI manifold update and gears!
