If you are going to purchase the vmaxx tb I would go with the 80mm tb sold by overkill. It will give you more options later down the line if you decide you want to get boosted or build a monster N/A LFX. BCS and Overkill are working on some badass projects. Back on topic. In addition with those 3 mods I would get a cold air intake; CAI or Roto-Fab.
Now whats your definition of good? Just increase performance over stock? With the mods you listed and the cold air intake, you should be putting down around 270-280rwhp and 235-245ft*lbs tq with a good tune. Yes, you will notice a difference in acceleration and sound. Now the question will be are you going to stop there, or will you want more

I have a Caí and a IPF tune and it's good but not great and by me adding those mods that I mentioned to you I would think it would be a great improvement plus I don't do track and stuff so just my daily drive . Plus I read somewhere a while back that there's not much difference between the 80 and the vmaxx besides the sound but I could be wrong. Maybe like 2 hp difference between the 80 and the vmaxx

Nice so what about with going with the spacer and intake manifold with my tune? Once I get money I will get that will tune and try it out. I'm hearing everyone talking about it but I hope he figures out the lag on these lfx engines . Plus I have a vtc too

Yeah they will work! You will have to check with Jason if he is still porting LFX intake manifolds.

Thanks man . There's a place here in cali that's doing them too so I will check with Jason and if he's not doing them then I'll jump on the Cali one.
Thanks for all your help man. Really appreciate it and I will keep asking you questions.

I agree that the 80mm will give you more options.
Plus the fact that some of the guys on here have reported issues with a VTC and the VMAX throttle body.
I haven't heard of and issues with the 80mm and VTC.
I'm down to changing the throttle body, installing high flow cats and a tune and I'm pretty much done with bolt ons. Still debating on the E85 option...
Bwahahahahahaha!!;;
And to think I bought the Camaro because I liked it the way it was stock..

Once you start, it's hard to stop. It's a cool hobby! Well, the E-85 is like the gravy on mashed potatoes, and everybody loves gravy on their mashed potatoes Pete!!
