Throttle body - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I might pick up a 102mm throttle body but i'm not really willing to pay $400plus for one. There's a blackhorse racing one for under $200 new, an a-team for under $200 new and a BBK used for $240. Anyone used any of these? I know the throttle bodies can be finicky. The bbk looks like it uses the stock electronics and motor, the others come with everything.

BBK had a bad streak of throttle bodies having throttle plates sticking. Not sure if/when this ever got fixed.

Hmmm. Maybe worth just buying the blackhorse one on amazon and seeing how it works for $160. If it's a pos i can always return with amazon lol.

I tried to BBK 102 tb and it caused my engine to pulsate at speed. But I did not tune the car because they told me it did not need to be tuned to use it. So I returned it. Also this was on my NA 13' 1le.

Was that after you had the forced induction? I wasn't gonna change the throttle body but talked to Ted Jannetty at length saturday and at my power level they are good for about 15hp gain i guess.

I know they are pricey but you get what you pay for the Nick Williams Super charger version is the only way to go at this point, anything else will just cause headaches.

The larger the blade the more it flutters at WOT which will put it in to Reduced power mode, this is a big problem with aftermarket throttle bodies.

If you can't swing a good one don't do one.

Ted.

If you don't you will regret any other purchase all others do not do well on PD superchargers.

Yea I'm not gonna buy a cheap one either I am just going to go without. $ per/HP not worth it to me at this point.

Chris49066SS · 02-10-2020, 08:32 PM

I'm going with a NW 102mm. Remember the GPI intake manifold shootout and how much the combo picked up on the Hi-Ram going from the stock TB to the 102mm...the LOD intake was never tested with a stock TB, so it begs the question of how the 102mm would help to the wheels with the proper intake, both NA and boosted. As always, I will post my results when the time comes

Greenhornet2 · 02-10-2020, 08:58 PM

Ted told me it's about 15hp with my setup. He's always been pretty spot on.
