The change you feel is not throttle response, it's differences in throttle mapping which is the distance once must push the throttle to get from 0 to full open. Moving from Weather through Track modes decreases the distance one must push the throttle to get to full open. The Vitesse does the same thing. Pushing your foot to the floor always results in WOT.
Folks mistakenly perceive they're getting better throttle response with a mode change or by installing a Vitesse, when all they're doing is decreasing the distance the pedal must travel to fully open the throttle.

Alot more.....that's also why you pick up real power and torque with this mod. The ported TB increases peak airflow from 850 CFM stock to 1000 CFM or so ported and the blower responds by compressing that additional air with more fuel and making more power...this is the very essence of everything we do to make more power.
I post this once again for the guys questioning the science behind why a properly ported TB works so well and the difference in actual airflow at various throttle positions. I mde all the fixtures for this test....it was time consuming but worth the hard data

So your looking at $390 shipped with a current lead time of only a week or so
While you can call me to process the order the easiest and fastest way to facilitate the purchase is to hit my website (www.mamomotorsports.com)
Top right corner of home page you will see a pic of a credit card.....click on it and fill out all your info and insert the 390.00 figure in the payment amount (that's the shipped price).
After your last name use a space and type either LT1 or LT4 to designate the correct TB based on a normally aspirated Vette or the supercharged Z06 model. You will receive an email receipt of the transaction immediately and I will be notified of the payment at that exact same time.....pretty quick and straightforward. I will also email you tracking info when Im ready to ship and I will send it USPS priority in a well packed box.
Look forward to your feedback as well
Should you have any issues with the purchase just email or call
Regards,
Tony

While they all will physically fit and bolt on the engine (and "read" the same on paper.....ported cylinder heads.....ported intake manifolds.....ported throttle body), you can and will have very different results from the installation with some products working alot better than others.
This is all based on the R&D invested into the product, and the execution of how the product is designed, ported, and manufactured etc. etc.
I have invested a ton of time in the design and R&D of these TB's utilizing the flowbench as well as a handful of local customer vehicles and I am confident that I have ported more of these than most.
At the end of the day you have to go with the vendor that you feel is right for you but the more you investigate my background and my reputation (and naturally customer feedback and results), the more I feel you will lean towards purchasing this product from me.
Also I offer a 30 day money back guarantee and I think that speaks volumes about the confidence I have in my product
