Next mod?

I already have a Catback exhaust,CAI,VTC and sway bars. Any other mods under $500 I can do that give a decent boost. So far the VTC has been the most noticeable performance upgrade it seems. I was thinking about a throttle body but is it needed if I have a VTC or does it give more responsiveness ontop of it.

JBA High Flow Cats. It will improve sound and will definitely add some HP for under $400.00.

You'll probably be disappointed if you go with a Throttle Body after you've experienced the VTC.

Catch can and a throttle body would be good choices. You could also do more suspension.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

Does installing the throttle body with a VTC help much at all? And I will definitely look into some high flow cats.

I installed my TB before I installed the VTC. My TB did increase the throttle response and may have added a few horses with it being wider and all. But the VTC blew it out of the water when it comes to what you can feel.

Not sure how it would go if you do the VTC first and the TB second. There may be a slight increase in power, but the throttle response will probably not get better than with the VTC in the first place.

Totally agree. I did the same - PTB first, VTC later. If I had done the VTC first I doubt I would have gotten the PTB. I can't imagine it adding anything (maybe very little) to what the VTC adds.
