Hello, so I read a lot of threads on TBs.. and all the brand and how everyone basically claims each one is the best, but isn't a bigger diameter make it better ? Anyways I just ordered my diabo trinity tuner, I currently have a Talltach CAI and a Corsa axle back so I wanted to get a TB and ....maybe headers and then get my custome tune. Any links? Thanks

Bigger is not better, especially on a stock application. Putting a 102 on a stock intake will likely lead to a terrible driving car...
Lots of positive reviews of ported OEM throttle bodies around here.

The bigger diameter is a general rule, but it might backfire. It will all depend on the specifics of your setup.

There are a few things for which we can claim we are leading or tied in first place at the very least. Price, Warranty term, Number of Options, Completeness of the solution, Customer Service, Equipment and Expertise, Availability, on-time fulfillment, we think we also have the popular vote since we are in business, and we could go on. We offer detailed performance data for our parts, this is verifiable and comparable. Ask the competition for data so you can compare it and discuss it.

We are up to the challenge, if you'd like to order our parts you'll have a 30-days from delivery to evaluate, test, and compare. We'll take them back unconditionally and fully refund you (including return shipping) if we don't end up in the first place.

Here are some links:

If Z06 or ZR1: https://www.solerengineering.com/store/se9871-100

If Stingray/Z51/GS: https://www.solerengineering.com/store/se8223-040

A great companion in any case: https://www.solerengineering.com/store/se0820-tc

Thanks,

I can say 100° ,Soler Engineering. Products are Awesome !!! I have their throttle controller along with a ported polished throttle body ( even though it's not from Soler) but just do it and of possible go with both the tb and tc ! You will have the " oh **** this is amazing grin " every time you drive it.just my 2cents.

He called me immediately upon receiving my email with an inquiry which was not urgent. I did not even include my phone number in my email, he had to look it up.

He called so quickly after I hit send I was confused as to who he was.

His TB and TC are amazingly wonderful. They make the car (Z06) behave as it should have from the factory.
