I'm thinking about buying a lfx ported throttle body for my v6. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I got one. It is hard for me to notice the difference. It isn't night and day in my opinion. Is it worth the money? I can't really say.

I love my VMax Ported throtlebody!

MaroMike94 · 11-05-2012, 10:44 PM

And where can I buy one?

Like Dynamite said you won't notice any huge difference, but you might notice that it has a better/quicker response when you hit the gas. I couldn't really tell if I was imagining it at first because I needed to justify the $150 I just spent... but now that I'm used to having it, it does seem better than stock. For how cheap it is, seems worth it to me. Might help to get a CAI first if you don't already.

I might have been mistaken, the lfx will work on v6 lt?

Ruby saw some serious gains with a ported throttle body and a couple other goodies.

That is not correct. LLT and LFX are different.

So ruby. How much does apex give you for the props on almost every thread I see with them is you pushing it. Just curious. Because I bought a nice order from apex chase love the guys and the girls there and love the products. But I mean you guys are in every thread and your car is in there videos for exhaust.

chevyfan#1 · 11-06-2012, 08:00 AM

i've heard good things about them.

JohnnyBfromPeoria · 11-06-2012, 08:45 AM

Let me put it this way...I would not go back to stock if I was refunded double what I spent.

Yes, it makes a noticeable difference.

Apex gives me nothing but a good price like everyone else & good information. Chase is in my Camaro club. He is now considered to be a friend. He has been very helpful to a newby trying to learn about my Camaro. I genuinely have loved everything I have done to my Camaro through him. I have also tried to do my research & every time he has given me the best price on things I have gotten from him. I have also supported other vendors I have gotten things through & been happy with. I'm sorry if it seems a bit much for you. But in all areas of my life, I try to be supportive to local stores, service providers & such, if I am happy with their services. We got phone calls from potential customers of the place where we got our replacement windows for a couple of years & gave referrals for the great crew that built our garage too. Just the way I am. If he or any other vendor ever screwed me over, you'd hear about that too.

I installed the Vmax ptb myself, easy install, and I noticed the difference.
