Several models to choose from, which would fit (or be recommended) a 2018 1-SS?

Looks simple enough to install. A few extra ponies, and minimizing the lag would be nice.
They are all the same product. You choose the model based on what you are sending to them. If you are stock and are going to do a core exchange, you pick that option. If you are buying outright with no exchange, do that option. If you are stock and want to send your throttle body in to do the porting and want them to send you back your own throttle body, then choose the stock rework option that doesn't have core exchange in the title.

Very excited to see if this gives me the progressive throttle response i want instead of the off/wait/on lightswitch throttle the car came with .
In for results

Like for example if I have my Katech TB on my car but am very interested in your TB Rework and send you my Stock TB...would either of them come back from you guys looking the exact same?



Thanks, standing by...very interested.

Thanks, Shane. Please, see post #34 (link below) very similar answer.

Can't.Stop.Smiling.

Bone stock 2016 SS 6 speed manual.

I really liked what this throttle body was advertised to do..... Smooth out and make the throttle response linear.

30 day money back guarantee and free shipping both ways.... ok they're making it too easy so i dropped the coin.

2 days later the Soler Throttle body shows up in the post.

The install was super easy.... it literally took me longer to find my 10mm socket than it did to swap the throttle bodies (printed instructions are supplied and yes there are pictures)

Disconnected the battery overnight

Today (after reconnecting battery) i went through the learn procedure that also came with the printed instructions.

Went for a drive this afternoon..... Holy smoley i cannot stop smiling.... the instructions said drive 100 miles but i could tell the difference leaving my gravel driveway where i did not spin the rear tires as i was pulling out ( first time since i've had the car)

After around 10 miles it felt like the ECU had things pretty much figured out so i headed to my favorite twisty road loop to try it out for reals....mostly 2nd and 3rd gear mountain roads.

All i can say is WOW!!!!! it's the closest thing to having a direct linkage from the pedal to the throttle body as i could ever imagine... Just amazing! The throttle response is like a rheostat now instead of the notchy lightswitch it used to be.... I can modulate the throttle into the corners even at the apex where i used to just roll through and wait until the car was mostly straight before getting back into the gas for fear of getting too much power at the wrong time..... Those days ARE OVER! I can get EXACTLY the amount of power i want whenever i want it.... with repeatable precision.... Just perfect.

There is a distinct reduction of closed throttle engine braking now but honestly that is really a good thing as it makes the off/ on throttle transitions much less abrupt...especially when threshold braking and then easing back into the throttle....there was no easing into the throttle before...... so nice.... i am really happy with this purchase! (can you tell?)

The Soler Modified throttle body does exactly what it is advertised to do.....the web is full of people making fancy claims that seem to good to be true and usually are .... this is the real deal...... not sure if i gained anything on the top end as my route doesnt allow for top speed runs and more power isnt what i was looking for anyway..... i wanted a progressive linear throttle response so i could really enjoy driving the car the way it was meant to be driven.
i'm completely satisfied with the transformation the Soler TB has provided ...Like magic!

Get off your wallet.... You need this on your car!

Ok, that’s one positive review. Curious if the rest will be the same.

Me too. Mine comes tomorrow.
I'm thinking I'll pull the plug tonight so I can test drive the car as soon as I get it.

Will be very interesting comparison for me having had the TMTB.

We are working on it. It might need calibration if used on LT1/LT4 engines.
What's your goal? Response, HP@WOT, or both?
