Default Soler throttle body installed

Just installed the Soler Performance Ported Throttle Body and throttle control Today on my 2014 z51 manual. I also have an AFE CAI I installed yesturday. The idle has smoothed quit a bit and the increase in low end torque from just the seat of my pants is pretty impressive with that combination. My manual shifting from 1st to 2nd has cleaned up as well. All in All Im pretty amazed at how it has woken up. Thumbs up for Mike at Soler! Another Satisfied Customer! https://www.solerengineering.com/

I have the same set up as you on my 15 Z06. Had ran mine for a few months when it got warmer started running really crazy at idle, and acceleration. Had it tuned yesterday and that really woke it up

I also did the exact same thing on my 2017 Z-51. It truly is like driving a different car.

I will add after adding these, the low end torque seems different, and while stoplight racing mustangs, I notice even with my traction control on, I break traction and "wiggle" from a dead stop, and last year that didnt happen.

Yes, I break traction as well without having to disengage traction control now as well. Before install I couldnt get the tires to spin without disengaging traction control and holding it for 5 seconds to disengage the other feature before it would spin the tires. Now it does it on command, I acually moved the Throttle Control # down to try to control that. Still havent found the right number yet for that.

I started with P1.9 on original install. Never tried a hard acceleration from standing start.

I have it set at P2.5 now, only because of what I had read on a few threads. Tried a 0-60 time today, and it broke loose for a second and then hooked up hard. Traction control enabled.

Lots of fun getting it dialed in.😎
