What year car? I have some LS2 silver blades in stock, as well as gold blade LS3/LS7's.

Here are some pictures of some of our work.

Price is $125+shipping

Couple questions...
How much is the core charge for an LS3 tb that would work on my 2013 GS?

Any idea of the typical benefit when used with the stock tune?

Thanks!

$175 for a core charge that is immediately returned upon the return of your throttle body.

Typical benefit, I'm going to on a limb and say 5-6rwhp, most guys are having the cars tuned right away. Your def. going to notice better throttle response with it right off the bat, but he real gain is going to be with a correct MAF for the increased air flow.

So without a tune would it be running leaner..To Lean??

Yes, the car would most likely throw a lean code.

The guy from VMAX said the LS2 intake is suppose to be a better intake than the newer ones put on the LS3. Just saying. I don't think it matters much. Just make sure you look inside to see if you have a gold/bronze butterfly or aluminum.
