Great question. We learned everything we could from existing 103's and we knew about the possibility of spark advance being reduced when idling, sometimes to negative values, this is even more pronounced on cammed engines. This is why we shaped these TB's to avoid this issue among others. What you'll see is a positive spark advance even without tuning.

Should be great, make sure you have a 4" tube leading to it and a similar opening on your manifold or s/c behind it. You may have to re-tune.

Correct, direct fit, no adapter. Comes with screws and a gasket. We haven't listed the coupler yet, but we have them, we are waiting for the clamps to list it as a kit. If you have the clamps we wouldn't mind including one coupler for you at no charge. Thanks.

I'm tuning a car this weekend that just got the Kong secret X ported blower and I directed him to your 107mm TB rather than having him buy the usual 103mm TB from somewhere else. This could be fun.

I am picking up a stock 2016 z06 next week and plan to do intake, tb, Catless x pipe, and eventually lid with methanol spray. Is this the one you would recommend for all stock at the moment, knowing I’m going to be adding mods slowly? Would be be ok to be the first mod to get rid of the dead spot?

460-650 hp, our 87mm (91mm Effective) if not tuning, not porting, and with stock air duct.
650-850 hp our 95mm (100mm Effective), best with SC ported to 95mm, 4" duct, and tune.
850 hp+ our 103mm (107mm Effective), best with SC ported to 103mm, 4" duct, and tune.
If tuning, porting, and 4" duct, then go 95mm (100mm Effective) or 103mm (107mm Effective) depending on the porting size and regardless of power target.

If bolting up to a Magnuson 2300 or 2650 LT4 blower does the bolt pattern match directly or does an adapter go between? I plan on ditching my stock Z06 blower soon and wasn't sure what to do for the snout/TB but this TB with the 103mm snout seems like a slam dunk.

Been looking over the 103mm TBs; Soler, Nick Williams, Katech...Going to get one soon. How has the Soler 103mm TB been holding up?
Setup: Built LT1, Magnuson 2650 w/103mm inlet, CPR 5" CAI.
