Better throttle body for LS3
I'm looking for a better replacement for the stock LS3 throttle body.
My Camaro has only basic modes. CAI, long tubes, HF cats, axle back exhaust and tune. I planned to buy Bo white stage 3 ported TB, but it didn't work out. Which way to go now? I've read older threads, but maybe newer and better things are available. What do I expect ...? Slight increase in power and better response to the accelerator pedal. Even though I have a tune that has improved the delay, I am still not satisfied. Thanks to everyone who can help with the selection. George |

I've been told it's a total waste of money. :shrugs:

Nah, I have had a VMAX ported TB on my 2011 Camaro SS since, well 2011!! It was 1 of the first mods I did. Didn't give me anymore power, but what it did do is get rid of the dead/dull spot I have right around 12-1300rpm's. Made the throttle response more quicker and no more dull spot. Also I had a K&N CAI on there before the TB change. In my book, well worth the money for me. Then after that in 2012 I did the LT's and a dyno tune with aftermarket exhaust.Hope this helps ya..

I read a lot of good about V-max. But I found them available on their website. Sold. I was still thinking about Jannettyracing. https://jannettyracing.com/products/...2015-camaro-v8 |

Katech sells them, no core required. They are a bit pricey though. I believe they offer international shipping, but not 100% sure.

Core would be sending the OEM one back or paying additional. https://www.liveabout.com/core-charg...o-parts-281542 |

You don't need to send them your throttle body. They sell you a new ported unit.

Yea I gotta say though, for the little money it cost, it was one of the best "little" mods I have done that actually made a big difference in my throttle response, night and day.. When I did mine they sent me one and when I got it and installed it and sent mine back got a 150 buck core charge refund, so I think it ended up costing about 150 bucks!!! Worth it..
