Thanks Guys!!!

I have everything but the strong MAF piece, and I love it! I instantly noticed a difference in my throttle response between 2nd and 3rd gear..

I lost a bet over this. I went back to back dyno pulls with a stock TB and then put on the VMAX TB and the pulls were right on top of each other on the graph. The one thing it does do is give you faster throttle response, as for horsepower I saw no gains at WOT. So if you want a faster throttle response get one but if you want horsepower gains look elsewhere. Not bashing the product, just telling you my experience.

Definitely a good upgrade, especially with the induction upgrades you already have. Should notice a nice improvement in throttle response. Not aware of any back order though.

I had this experience, but I didn't even feel improved throttle response. At the time I was running the New-Era intake, along with Solo HF Cats, both of which were great additions for adding power.

Throttle response is great! Got mine from apex in 2 days, with a return shipping label you have to call and ask for that though.

I bought a vmax, noticed no difference at all, tried to take advantage of the 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back, and got the shaft 😞 this was from jdp though not Ted, I wouldn't recommend it there's other stuff you can spend money on although it is only $150 so idk 😐

I got mine from Ivan at Southwest speed. If you buy it for peak hp...don't buy it. I bought it for tip in response/launching the car. It met every goal I set for it.
