Installed Bo White Ported Throttle Body - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Homeless Man · 05-04-2016, 06:09 PM

So installed it the other day pretty easy except I dropped a 10mm socket into the engine bay and it was never to be found

I think on the automatic it makes a bigger difference because I didn't feel a "night and day" difference like most say. I have the LS3 with longtubes headers not tuned anymore. I don't feel a lag like everyone says ported throttle bodies fix. Seems pretty responsive to me. Also I think now it seems a bit easier to rev match and shifting seems smoother did any of you manual guys realize that it is it placebo lol? Also here are some pictures of my stock throttle body around 13K miles on it how's it look?

I'm not surprised that you didn't notice much difference, why are you running on 87 octane gas?

Zyklon-SS · 05-04-2016, 07:10 PM

87 gas?

Homeless Man · 05-04-2016, 07:25 PM

Because I lost my tune from warranty work and decided to see if there really is a difference you can feel between premium and regular but there's not...only thing is the idle sometimes doesn't come down instantly when I go into neutral but I don't think I would've noticed that if my exhaust wasn't super loud

OMG I had to ask

pyroguy · 05-04-2016, 08:03 PM

Drive with the Bo White TB for a while, then go back to stock and see if you notice a difference going the other way.

Muscle Car Lover · 05-04-2016, 08:16 PM

I noticed quite a bit of difference when I swapped mine. Was bone stock otherwise.

Kopterman · 05-04-2016, 09:00 PM

That last picture is your stock TB right?

The reason I ask is that it does not have the second mod that Bo does to it.

Yea they all are

Kopterman · 05-04-2016, 09:43 PM

Oh man. I just read the last sentence of your OP. Sorry about that. lol Duh

RS Speedriver · 05-05-2016, 12:51 PM

87 gas = bad no wonder you cant feel anything. i would pull your fuses to re set the fuel map as well for 91 or 94 buddy

Homeless Man · 05-05-2016, 01:20 PM

Wow idk why I wrote that in the thread. I just said that I felt no difference between the premium and regular and I always used to drive with premium when I had my tune. This thread isn't about which gas

Well, it's not like you're not known to drive a thread off topic, LOL.
