Default VMax CNC Throttle Body

All,

I was disappointed with the throttle response on my 2008 6-speed and did not want to void the warranty on the car (with a tune) or install that electronic device to trick the throttle position,

I decided to try one of the VMax CNC ported throttle bodies. It was easy to install and it actually improved the throttle response. I was very surprised at the difference !

Good investment for $150 !!

Good to hear the Vette community having good experience with the VMax units as well!

We see a bunch on the Camaro side and they seem to be a real nice piece for the price.

Glad to hear your take...

I run VMax TB's on both of my stroker motors and love them. Pete Incaudo developed them and previously sold them under the Comtech and Rev Extreme names.

I got one on the recommendation of Mike Norris. Made a decent improvement in tip-in and throttle response, but I also tuned it for the already installed LT headers at the same time so it could be a combination.

I've had mine for quite awhile now and I like it. I don't think it added any power, but I have driven other friends corvettes and the difference is staggering. My pedal is very responsive and it makes blipping the throttle for downshifts very easy and satisfying
