Where I think it really helps is out of a dig and throttle control on twisties is more refined. Next mod is a Green Filter, but that won't happen until the spring because of weather where I am. |

Absolutely worth the money in my opinion, you will notice the difference.

Mine is sitting in the garage waiting for me to be home long enough to install it. Tony was great to work with and his service did exceed expectations. Results to follow.

Guys,
I've posted volumes about the perks and all the reasons to own this must have mod in this forum and in others. Hell this thread alone I have posted alot of the same thing over and over.....just take the time to read the thread....skip to just the parts I posted if you want to save some time. Need more data and independent testimonials and reviews of this mod....here is another thread from the Corvette forum https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...installed.html They have all the same issues with the OEM TB's in their LT1 and LT4 combinations. Must be another 100 independent reviews of my product in that LOOOOONG thread if you care to spend the time to educate yourself and see what everyone is raving about. In fact here is the very last post in that thread that sums it up rather nicely Quote:
Real quick before I sign off here.....the gap in my ported TB is most certainly larger than stock....that's no illusion or camera angle playing with you. However that is not the position your TB blade is sitting at when you car is idling.....its simply what I call the "rest" position of the blade and probably represents about a 25% throttle input. When you close my blade up you get very close to the same amount of air of an unported TB in the very low throttle positions that would represent the amount the blade is open when the engine is idling (around 6-10%)....this is why my ported unit wont idle any differently or throw any codes to make your computer unhappy. Want even more detailed information about all the airflow my ported unit gives you versus stock.....this thread is really informative http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=502504 Guys....just take the plunge....your biggest regret will honestly be the fact you waited so long to jump on this deal Cheers, Tony |

With the (3) ZL1 I have owned logged over 15K mileage on “TM” T-Body. Engine idle is like stock & there is zero delay unlike with with the stock Throttle Body. Their is a Blower whistle at idle & that is a positive trait.

Electronic throttle bodies do not have a IAC motor like cable driven throttle bodies did. So the ECM controls idle with the throttle blade therefore the blade will always be open to some degree so the engine can maintain idle.

Today was the first day I was able to get the car out of the garage and drive it into work. I don't have a long commute and it was cold, so I didn't do anything crazy. However, I can most certainly tell a difference. You need much less input on the throttle pedal to get the car going now. I spun the tires at one point when I had no intention of doing that. It did not do that with a stock TB with that amount of throttle input. So far, I like it. I'll report back more after I put some miles on it in a variety of driving conditions.
Idling and such is just like stock, no perceivable change. I do know before, you seemed to need to give it a fair amount of throttle to get off the line where it almost felt a bit "dead". That is gone and that to me is a huge plus. |

I installed mine last weekend but didn't get much of a chance to drive it but I can tell you the bit I did get to it is night and day difference. Much easier take off around town and the throttle response is greatly improved. It is also the only mod on the car right now. Well worth the money.

Ok, ok, I am sold, where is the cheapest place to buy? Should we order directly from Tony Mamo?
