VMax CNC pattern ported throttle bodies are excellent and are very easy on the wallet. Tons of people on Camaro5 (including me) use them. And you can get colormatched paint on them so they look great!

I read on here last night that VMAX quit making the TB's. BBK uses your existing electronics to control their TB. If you aren't going with a larger CI motor build or some crazy hp goals, keep the factory TB.

Looks like its talking about the billet TBs, not the ported ones.
Just get the stocker ported and get one of the popular cold air kits and be done with it. Ive got a ported TB and a Rotofab and gained 30rwhp without a tune.

I ordered my VMAX CNC ported TB from Tracy. The TB will give you a large increase in throttle response, more power in lower RPM's, and possible a tad bit of HP. They are a great investment for $150.

I second the Vmax CNC-Ported TB ( I have one) purchased from Tracy aka SC2150 for I think 150$, not noticable hp increase I think its only 2-3 but the throttle response is definately there.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and get the Vmax ported TB. Good mod for the money
