You know it sucks cuz I had bought one and I took it to the muffler shop and they convinced me not to put it on when I did my exhaust years ago and I swapped them for the and I swapped them for the x pipe thats on it. I knew i shoulda put it on

Tuning Service: Will is sending me a few base tunes, an 87 Octane tune, and a 91/93 tune, then we will be datalogging with EFILive and Autocal to fine tune a base tune. The ability to datalog with EFILive and the Autocal is going to prove very beneficial, that way Will can see every little change and can update your custom tune, accordingly. And the nice thing is, once you purchase the service from Will, no more paying for tuning (on that vehicle) again. You make a change, datalog, send it to Will, he will update the tune. Most places charge $50-100 to update a tune.

And, for those of you who are unsure of using a "new guy" in the Camaro world....just google "Overkill tune LFX".....nothing but amazing stuff out there.


80mm Throttle Body: I have received this already, with the needed adapter plate, and instructions. As of right now, it has NOT been installed, as I have the CAI Intake, which has that funky shaped intake tube, so waiting on a few options to test for the silicone elbow. When I receive the elbows and test, I will post up what elbows/parts I have found to be the best fit/finish for the CAI guys. The fact that the 80mm TB sticks out a little farther than the standard/VMAX TB, should help me in finding a proper elbow.

Word of advice when installing the 80mm TB-mount everything up FIRST before siliconing/gasket material-ing the TB and the adapter plate together. The adapter plate can go on multiple ways on the intake manifold. But the TB can only mount up one way, properly. Ill show pictures of this when i go to reinstall.

E85 Flex Fuel Retrofit Kit: This should also get here next week, along with my tuning equipment. Flex Fuel, for a daily driver, is not necessarily desirable or needed. But for maximum performance, especially with F/I, E85 can boost horsepower considerably. Now, that being said, your vehicle must be tuned to run on it as well. With the Flex fuel retrofit kit, the sensor will automatically pickup on the fact that there is E85 and adjust its tuning-AS LONG AS YOUR TUNE IS SETUP PROPERLY. Will's tunes do just that. If you get the E85 kit and Wills tuning service, he will setup the tune for E85 activation for you as well. My intentions with E85 are to maximize performance gains on a N/A engine, with Nitrous coming soon.


So far the service and support I have gotten from Will has been top notch. A little slow on the communication (Sorry Will, gotta let everyone know, just to expect that, so they dont worry), but has always answered all of my questions and has never once overstated or pushed his products on me. He is extremely knowledgable. Never once have i read "well my tune will do THIS, compared to X tune". He is very open and honest about what it should do, and what to expect. I like that. Let the product make the statement. As I said earlier, if you google Overkill Tuning reviews......every single person and review has been incredible.


So, that being said.......here is a picture of the TB. Its here. Just waiting on some intake tubes for testing.

Shawno72 has also received his tuning service....hopefully he will post up with initial thoughts.

I will be updating this thread with my install and information as I get it.

Noob question, but I like to know instead of wondering. Hey Will I recently purchased the throttle body. When would it ship and is there the $200 rebate with sending in my old TB or is it just I bought one and have a spare now?
