Bo's Ported Throttle body - Page 16 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Jason@JacFab · 07-01-2014, 06:03 PM

I haven't been keeping up on current discussion, I'm closed this week, driving through the middle of Arizona from Texas on the way back to Oregon and having a horrible time, nothing but problems, but Bo asked me to post this:

"If you can post up on that long thread and tell them to not mess with the blade. More airflow works both ways on accel and decel.

(I think this next part is in response to the tb porting in general?)
It will take a touch longer to fully stable into idle because of this. My stage II port is aggressive."

Sorry, I'm just the messenger a little out of the loop, no computer access, and spotty cell reception

Thanks for the message Jason. I'll give it few more hundred miles more then its track time. I'm shipping back my core tomorrow.

IIRC the Torque specs are somewhere around 9 inch pounds...

Thanks guys. Car is running really bad a** know. A couple of hundred more miles and I think I should be good to go

I slapped a Bo white tb on today and it made a big difference in throttle response and I can feel the car pull better. Money well spent. Feels better than the vmax I had on my camaro.
Vette has a vararam and some mufflers. That's it.

May be a dumb question but where do I go to get one of these TB? lol

Don't think twice ... Well worth it. These guys have something else going on or something torqued wrong if they are having idle issues. No offense. But it is true.

camarosspower · 07-09-2014, 07:16 AM

I was thinking it might be my k&n cai. I compared it against a buddy of mine who I always beat but not easily beat and this last time with bo's tb let's just say we were both surprised and now he is on the list as well

I installed a VMAX a couple of years ago and like the throttle response. I've read most of the threads on porting the throttle body and removing the hump. Why is it there in the first place?

When I was in Germany I asked a German friend why do you serve sparkling water in restaurants instead of still water.

He answered me that they have the same price, but since the sparkling water comes with additional carbon everyone takes it !!

Therefore, a Camaro with a free hump is worth buying .... Sink about it

Improved low throttle driveablity for the not so performance minded folks.
