Ordered Tony Mamo Throttle body (UPDATED WITH DYNO) - Page 2

gilgamesh · 06-02-2017, 12:49 PM

Just ordered mine. I have seen nice drivability increases on FI motors in the past. Looking forward to seeing how it does.

You will void your warranty! Lol. FuXk the warrant, go faster!

I had a Mano ported fast 102 intake and tb. It was nice.

HOLY SHIT!!! Ordered it and within one hour, no exaggeration, they send me a shipping notification. Amazing.

Same here... He has quite the reputation for customer service on the Corvette forum. One of the reasons I went with them!

Seeing as he was the lead engineer at AFR, I may be contacting him if I decide to port the heads... My ZL1 is not a daily driver so if I had to wait a week or three to get them back it would not matter. And I cannot imagine a better person to be doing them.

To be fair the shipping notification simply means a label was printed. Check tracking to verify actual drop off.

On the dyno notes, aren't best results for a before/after achieved same day back to back? That seemed to be the consensus in other threads. Otherwise you're factoring in all other environmental variables.

Mine actually showed dropped off, not just label. Already had tracking!

Yeah, that is a consideration. The only reason I wanted to give it a minute is in case the ECU "learns". There have been some reports of different mods being somewhat negated after a little bit of time due to ECU adaptation. I guess I am trying to see what the real world long term differences are. Maybe I can take the assembled filter and TB with me, both would install within 20 minutes I would think. It really depends on how much time I have on the dyno, I know they are pretty booked up right now. The first appointment for actual tuning if needed is two weeks out.

Tracking number is included with the printed label, regardless of whether it's been dropped off. If you check the tracking number status and it shows item is at shipping facility, within an hour of order, now that would be impressive. That's amazon prime level service.

Perhaps a battery unplug style ecu reset prior to each run would be sufficient to get the car in to immediate "learn" mode? I'd have to defer to someone with far more experience than me. Like the FedEx guy tracking your order above.

Once installed I will probably drive for a week or so and then go back. I want all of the fuel tables and whatever else to stabilize before a return trip, and at $125 per dyno session I don't want to be making a whole lot of return trips!!

But I will post up with the results of the base pull and then the results of Roto-Fab+Throttle Body once I have them.

Oh, quick question... 7th is 1:1 on the a10 transmission correct? Need to know for dyno..

Looking forward to seeing the results

It was at a hub! Yeah, was that fast!

If I can I will try to get a run or two, then pit intake and throttle body on. I would love to do say intake, run, intake+throttle body and then run again but I think I will be pushing it as is IF I can even throw the intake and TB on...

Tony is good people. He did the heads on my BBC, (901 hp 760lbft) He spec'd the cam and he attended twp dyno sessions with me @ Westech in my area. He does very nice work and I trust him implicitly. You should be happy, he has a CTS/V which he has worked his magic on and it runs like a striped ass'd Monkey.

Oh, the more I read on the corvette forums the more impressed I am. I am really thinking about having him do my heads and help spec a cam at some point. He is legit

He's a man of talent. Went to lunch a couple times in his Caddy and it will go sideways at over 50 with 3 people in it.
