I can relate closely to this problem. This problem is a large part of the reason I switched from ZLE M6 to ZLE A10.

I read every word very carefully and stared at every diagram.

Everything stated by OP appears legit to me.

I'm down.

@OP I have one question. Can I get one without the Soler Engineering sticker? I'd like it to appear OEM upon visual inspection.

EDIT: Just purchased

At WOT, you know how inaccurate chassis dynos can be, but we'll run back to back dynos and see what we get.

Some numbers we could give right now is that your effective bore diameter goes from 87 mm (stock) to 91 mm (with mod). Our inlet/outlet design make flow much more efficient, polished to reduce skin friction, even the screws are completely out of the way. All these will show up at WOT we expect an easy 10-20+ HP gain.

Some Corvettes have taken our TB's to the track, and just the smoothness and predictability makes them track worthy.

Thanks,
That with the stock intake filter?

My setup is all stock SS stick. I have no issues with hesitation. I just want more power on 90deg. days. I want the same output I have on 40deg. day. Will this product help that?

everybody has hesitation. You may not notice it right now, but i bet you'll notice the difference when it isn't there.

I hesitate to respond because I can't be 100% sure.

Thank you very much, angryBits. Would you e-mail us your order confirmation with a note about what we should delete?

My understanding is that you do not want the aluminum tag on the outside (motor housing) but you still want the blade engraving; correct?

Thanks,

I don't think it will compensate for that much difference in air temperature/density at WOT. Different story at part throttle.

This is more about transferring power to early throttle application. We've also added every detail needed to perform at WOT as well. The greater differences show up at part throttle.

Thanks,

This is genuinely a very good point and even applies to other things in life as well (unrelated to cars, hesitation, lag, etc).

Anyways... The Soler unit is superb! I'll write an in-depth review once I have a bit more time but there is an immediate difference in feel/performance that completely surprised me (just.. WOW). I'm very happy with the customer service, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall reassurance of the product/company.

Glad to see Mike here on the forum! Great to have them here , I had originally started another thread asking about this throttle body so I'll update both with a more "formal" review soon.

BUT,

I'll leave you guys with this: This product is well worth the money and it is a substantial improvement! Couldn't be happier!

Wow, I did not expect that. I will reply to the confirmation email, thank you!

EDIT: email sent.
