Well if it was tuned & the only variable is the TB wing swapped out I don’t know why they wouldn’t see if something is wrong. Nobody is perfect with porting or anything in life so a review of the product doesn’t seem out of line to ask for

Yep they(Ticks Performance) said I can’t return it so they stuck me with it. If I can get my tuner to try and tune it on his C7 .same motor so it fits .if he can get it running on his car I can swap for a non ported. I’ve read posts talking about some messed up port jobs basically impossible to tune ,blame the part ,tuner whatever but it won’t run on my car properly.

Update The Ported Throttle body ported by Ticks was tried on another LT-1 with the exact same results wont tune properly. So its a paperweight now Special thanks for Ticks Performance for sticking me with Junk. I stand behind those that look out for me sorry Ticks ill never stand behind you or recommend you.

Had the same problem with my tick performance throttle body. Tuner spent a lot of time trying to get it right with no luck.

Wow you ran an msd with an 103 mm with no tune or issues wow. Guess the ecu really does adjust.

I went through my tune logs it was the ported Katech and MSD that I "only" touched the rear 02. The 103 did indeed need tune (don't remember how much) but I did it myself. So I'm slightly embarrassed.. but I'm old.
