Smile Ported TB by ModernMuscle - WOW

Just installed a NEW ported TB from ModernMusclePerformance ...WOW what a difference in throttle response. Check them out, they've been around a while for MOPARS but are new to Camaros. Price for new TB is very good, price for exchange is comprable to others. Speak with Dave the owner. He's been porting for 30yrs, is very informative and respsonsive.

BTW ... the factory TB boring looked like a POS/cement mixer compared to the ported one. Guess that's why the car really came alive and is much quicker in low to mid range RPMs with a ported one.

Isn't the ZL1 a different part number and smaller than SS?

I thought I was told you could swap a SS on it though.

Still learning.
