This is one of the next things I am going to do as well.

let me know if you really feel a difference in the throttle response. Got a list of things I want to get with the tax return coming!

inferno camaro · 01-19-2012, 12:14 PM

Would it make more or less difference on a modded car, should it be retuned?

SC2150 · 01-19-2012, 12:34 PM

We do the core charge as well.

No need for a tune, but as with any mod a tune will optimize the results.

It absolutely makes a huge difference in throttle response. I was very impressed with how much it was improved. PS, get the paint option, totally worth it.

I'm not positive on this, but my guess is yes, it would improve more on a modded car. I put mine on after I did my other bolt-ons. IMO I would get the tune for performance's sake. But if money was tight, I might not.

Its not the money, its that my tuner is 4 hrs away

Check your mass air sensor and besure its a strong one.

Honestly these things give like 2 hp if that. I sold mine and my car still feels like a freak. I don't regret selling either and don't intend to replace it.

Throttle response.

I'm thinking seriously of buying one for just that reason.

On another subject, your engine cover looks great. Did you paint it or buy it? If you painted it, what kind of paint? If you bought it, where? Thanks!
