LS3 throttle body
Where can I get a performance throttle body for a 2008 LS3?
VMax wants one sent to them for modification. I can't remove mine & wait for the turnaround.

Overnight it to me, pay the return overnight and I'll port it for free.

I gained .02-.03 on my 60', same track, same day and hour, same lane. Two passes before install and two after with no tuning change.

That's correct. I heard that from Mike there, so I sent my core in immediately at the same time putting in an order to get in whatever line there was. That was over 3 weeks ago, but I'm told a ported TB is now "In Transit" for me and I should receive it Tuesday......I'll be like a kid in a candy store!
