Soler Performance Throttle Body

I received a package from Mike Soler today.



Since I'm from Europe, I wouldn't dare send the existing throttle body for rebuilding. If I was unlucky, the shipment would be lost somewhere.

So I bought a new original GM part and had it modified.
And I bought a Soler Performance throttle controller too.



I can't write yet how satisfied we are, because there is a lot of snow and the Camaro only rides in sunny summer weather.

But the first impression is very good.









I plan to load the datalog after lelearning the ECU and send it to the re-tune. It is a supplement to long tubes, cats, CAI, exhaust and tune.

We will see what benefit it will have in terms of performance.
But the main intention is a more aggressive accelerator pedal response.

Too bad they get covered up since they make beautiful throttle plates.

Thank you bro
I also originally wanted V-max. But their units are sold out.
I didn't read anything good on BBK here in most threads.
Then I tried BoWhite- he doesn't make it anymore too.

Then a local member referred me to Mike Soler.
So I contacted him, we agreed and closed a business.
At the Corvette forum, they were very excited about his TB, so I'll see how will be with me

Good luck with your new TB.

Please Thank your embassy people in Washington DC for providing hot food to some of our troops that were sent there last week. I'm sure they appreciated it very much after the way they were treated.

I have heard great stuff about them, shame they get overlooked so often. Apparently they have been in the throttle business forever.

I have a Soler Tb and their throttle controller. Extremely pleased with both and the customer service is top notch if you ever need assistance.

I wouldn't know about them either.
I was alerted to him by a local member of SSJ2.
Only then did I become interested in it.

He saw a couple of viedeos, read reviews on several forums, so I decided on this TB. And the controller was like a bonus.
