Some pictures of the newly routed can lines; you want a slight to the left stop for the inlet top port of can to meet up with the gentle curve of the hose:

Thank God you're done dumping those crankcase vapors into your intake tract. I was beginning to think you didn't like your car.

I am at 780 miles right now! Some folks are not as well planned as you Indy, and I am even a sceintist!

Looks great, thanks! I may just have to do that also.

In the process of buying a VMAX throttle body. I have to stop spending money......

Stopping in to wish you a great week end, my friend! Hope you get some fun time with Christine!

Many vendors and tuners here have described this product as the "best bang for the buck" of any mod you can do. Since I had my tuner install mine when he did the headers and tune, I'm not in a position to describe the effect of the PTB alone. All I know is when I got my car back, the improvement in throttle response was impressive. That stock response I called "mushy" is completely gone. I just don't know how much of the improvement to credit to VMax and how much is the tune.

Yes, with the sequence you did your car no way to tell.

I think it will get what I want done. Should be here Tuesday, install next weekend.

Just got done reading all 7 journal pages. I felt your nervousness on getting the new car. I had a 2006 Monte Carlo SS before I got my 2012 2LT, haven't looked back. I have never owned a brand new car but the 2012 Camaro is the closest I have ever been. Your car looks awesome. Keep up the journal.

Congrats on your car! Thanks for reading.

I bought a VMAX Ported Throttle Body from the awesome Phil at Tampa Tuning from the C5 board. He answered the few questions I had and shipped fast, the piece was here in just 2 business days!

I bought the new TB out right, I am also retaining my stock TB just in case.

I have #4851, and it's a very nice looking part. I think I may be taking Friday off. the gas meter is being replaced at the house and that was the first day I could get an appointment to fix the garage doors. If you missed my story of an exploding garage door spring, you can read it here:

Hope this upgrade helps the throttle response, I think it will. If you want one talk to Tampa Tuning, great customer service.

Another member had posted his gate pass from Oshawa and I remembered I had mine!

Christine was built on May 26th 2014 and she was put on a rail car on her way home the very same day! Now that's service!

Camaro_krazee · 07-14-2014, 07:13 PM

Yikes on the garage door spring! We've had one break that did NOT have a safety cable in it; thank heaven no one was in the garage when it snapped! Then we've had one break that HAD the cable in it; it sounded like a missile launch as well, but we knew what it was when it happened. Still scares the ba-jebers outta ya!

Have a great week...and keep us posted on the ptb; I'm very interested in that mod as well.
