Default Soler Throttle body

So I at first didn’t want to mod my c7 stingray but it does have a noticeable lag just off of idle. My c6 had the same and a ported throttle body smoothed that out so I decided to try the soler. It installed easily of course. I reconnected the battery and started it with the idle three min off one min and repeat cycle from the instructions. Ran a bit rough for the first 15 seconds or so then smoothed up. Second run through the idle time it settles down smooth. Instructions say to go through 10 sessions over 44 mph then idle. I’m about half way through that and so far it seems to respond a bit quicker. I wasn’t expecting super charger like changes but it is indeed a more responsive throttle. I’ve got their controller as well to install now. I wanted to do the throttle first to not skew the difference.

I enjoyed the break-in procedure with mine. It gave me an excuse to drive the car.

I’ve had one on my M7 Z06 for the last 4K miles. It just about eliminated the tip in throttle stumble. Well worth it for me.

I have the throttle controller, not the throttle body. The throttle controller makes these cars so much fun to drive. Before it just didn't have the fun factor my brother's stick C6 had. I was actually disappointed until I got the Soler throttle controller.

Easily the best mod hands down.. Just wondering if it's worth it to get the throttle body now?

Oh yeah, you will like it. The two work great together. In fact I would have gotten the TB first.
