As far as the bucking/surging. I never had a issue with it on the Pray ported TB as it was the one the car was tuned on. That TB died on me, replaced it with a stock one I had that was from the bad batch of the 2017 TB and it made it a month before it died. I tried 2 different Soler TB but they all bucked and surged badly, with that Mike was nothing more than professional in trying to help out and ultimately refunding and paying for the shipping to return the TB.

I am going to see how the Mamo V2 goes once I get it. I asked the tuner about trying to clean the tune up and they are willing but I am sure it will be at a cost which I totally understand. The tuner offered me a ported 95mm ZR1 TB but that means I will have to figure out a solution to the inlet charge pipe from Procharger since it wont fit on the 95mm TB. As of now Procharger wants $650 for their race inlet charge pipe kit. A local performance shop has quoted me $250 to make me a custom one that will work.

I am going to hold off on the 95mm TB at this point until the ported LT2 intakes hit the market as a bolt in kit, then install the 95mm TB and a ported LT2 IM and then go for a retune.

Not sure about the LT2 IMs being an aftermarket option anytime soon. The way Mike Kociba, assistant head engineer at GM, explained it, the LT2 is very purpose-built—as well as the components. Kociba mentioned the only parts that are real carryovers (i.e. compatibility with LT1s) were the cylinder heads (some very slight adjustments), compression and the TB (which is amusingly also a canned 87mm).

The LT2 IM is very tall, and would likely not clear the hood of the sixth-gen. At some point, they had a C7 test mule with the LT2 but had to create a giant hole in the hood to accommodate the top of the engine.
