I've got one on order. Which really kinda ticks me off. After I hit the $50k mark in my 2001 TA, I swore I'd never go down this road again. That's why I got the V6 to begin with. But honestly, after this, I'm done.

Except maybe for exhaust.

And a turbo.

Can you use a throttle body spacer with this mod and is it even worth it?

PoorMansCamaro · 10-12-2011, 07:16 PM

from my experience, no, TB spacers are not worth it.

Amenti · 10-12-2011, 07:43 PM

Ya...I kept telling myself I didn't need any more mods on my Camaro after my LSD swap and tune.....

Dammit....

Now I want to get the ported throttle body and a torque converter from Tracy. My wife is very supportive of my modding habit, though. LOL

Torque converter? How much is that

BowtieBelle · 10-13-2011, 09:06 AM

TB Spacers are a waste of money.

Does anyone have some dyno charts on this?

SC2150 · 10-15-2011, 03:46 PM

Yes. JDP has done some great testing: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171395

Honestly I doubt your average tech would notice the difference unless they had a ported and an un-ported throttle body laying side by side for comparison. I wouldn't worry about warranty issues, the only thing that might not be covered is if the throttle body itself died (like the electronics) and they realized that it's been ported - which I doubt.

Not on this v6, but previous cars.
