Next Mod to Do

2013 2SS L99

Equipped
K & N Cold Air Intake
Borla ATAK Exhaust
What are the next steps I could take, most bang for my buck?
I've got about 3-400$ spare cash this month, and the Camaro needs Christmas presents.

Will there be any issue of longtube headers with my current borla exhaust?
And what is the performance gain from Longtube headers?

Ported throttle body and save for some Lt headers. With tune you should get at least 30whp

VMAX TB is better than BBK's?

A lot of people have had issues with the BBK TBs. The VMAX TB is a factory unit that is CNC ported, so gains are consistent each and every time. Also, bigger is not always better; it's about Velocity, not necessarily CFM.

How trustworthy are the Used TB's? I'm always skeptical on buying anything used, especially when looking for performance

Out of the hundreds we've sold, I think we've had 1 bad SS TB, which I believe could have been defective when sent to us. We immediately sent the customer a replacement, so he had to wait a few extra days to enjoy it, but no worse for the wear.

Best regards,

Tyler

me as well for the catch can! Dual is for forced induction correct? I do not have that right now, but if I plan to get TT in the future get the dual now?
