We have the V- max cnc ported throttle body, and I would say there is a noticable difference when you first get into it, ....but, we also have the intune with the 93 octane tune.

thanks for the replies.
so..i'm looking to eliminate any down time so what did you do and where did you purchase? also, what should I be looking for as far as quality and bang for the buck as I see a couple of advertisers.
thanks

Hey, we offer ported throttle bodies. We have cores in stock so you can have a TB shipped to your house, swap them around and ship your stock TB back. A core fee is required and returned once your throttle body is returned.
If you'd rather send yours in, turn around time is one day.
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

Ok, there are a few things that changed.
1) The blades open in opposite directions. The silver blade lays forward while the gold blade lays back.
2) The internal electronics are different. The silver blade you can NOT remove the motor housing with out doing some damage, there are hard connections between the motor housing and the blade housing.
The gold blade you can pop off the motor housing everything is contained in that separate housing. I'm sure this is why the price of the LS3/LS7 is much cheaper. The motor housing is interchangeable with other blade housings and cheaper to produce.
3) The electronics are different between the silver and gold blade. Mainly with the WOT limits. This is why when you put a gold blade on a car that originally and a silver blade it will throw a code when you go WOT, the computer see's different voltage values and freaks out throwing codes.

I prefer the gold blade, just because it lays back. The air is flowing faster along the top of the intake track and with the blade laying back it doesn't fight it as much. Performance wise, I doubt you see a difference between the the two.

Yep, the factory computer can only correct for a certain amount of increased air flow. When you add a cold air intake, ported TB and intake the computer cannot adjust enough to correct for the increase air flow.

Do you also offer the tune or does a guy have to go elsewhere?

No idea why GM ran them for a little in '08 on the LS3 then switched. Even some of the early Z06's have the silver blade TB's. Dimensionally they are the same.
