She privately sent this to me. Not sure why if was gonna post it so I guess I will now post my response .




Blues45th response:
Ruby I too as a ups driver respect and always try to refer all customer to my local route and area and just like the rx catch can those guys are 45 min away. I'm glad that you answered my question in the first part of your response and also understand the strong relationship one has with there car, I am sorry though to feel as your response goes on your almost lecturing me for asking as opposed to just understanding why a buyer would wanna know if "reviews " where from friends family customer all or one . Thank you for taking the time to respond and I hope to one day be the v8 slayer of the south. Well , of florida at least lol

Janice is just one of our good local customers that and has turned into what we refer to as an "Apex Disciple". There are quite a few around here but she is one of the most active in V6 circles. She gets exactly what we give everyone except she gets it on a regular basis due to her proximity and number of upgrades.

I hear yah chase. And I have said always you guys are a top notch distributor . Love all I have gotten from you with always honest and excellent advice. Thanks to ruby for helping a fellow v6 lfx owner how to get the most out of our cars. Her reviews and opinions have always helped in my decision making. As has this site.

I don't save my sent e-mails so I won't quote my private response to you.

Just want folks to know that Blue45th & I have PM'ed some more & we are okay with each other. As I told him though, absolutely no intent to sound lecture-like. I suspect he is not the only person who has wondered the same sort of thing. Those who have met me in person will attest that I tend to be a generally very enthusiastic person. I am aware that in text that can easily be misconstrued. I simply wanted to be fully open & explain myself & the relationship between Apex & myself. Sorry if my decision to post the message in the thread also seemed insensitive but I suspected others also wondered the same, I thought it appropriate to post the reply there also.
An enthusiastic , You go get 'um to anyone out there lining up beside V8's. Have a blast, as I do win or lose, but give them a little good natured grief when you win!

glad this came up. How about a throttle body that is say 3mm or maybe 8mm larger over stock??? Seems not to much out there for our little engines

I just installed mine today on my LLT, and the difference is noticeable. It's not a HUGE difference, but it's there.

Eh, just got mine on last night and it's not that big a difference.

I heard too many good things about it on here before I got one, so I came into it with biased expectations.

+1 I figured any feeling of throttle response improvement was lost in the mushy feel of my automatic transmission.

All the cool kids click my signature and go from there.



That is not correct. LLT and LFX are different.
I'm on the website and its only showing 2010-2011 PTB. Will that work with the 2012 llt?

I think you misunderstand what LLT and LFX are. The 2010 and 2011 models were built with the 3.6L LLT engine. The 2012+ models are built with the 3.6L LFX engine. The v6 camaro "names" are LS or LT, depending on the trim.

If your car is a 2010 or 2011 model, get the LLT throttle body. If it's a 2012 or 2013 model, get the LFX throttle body.
