Default Throttle Body...worth it?

Currently have the GM Borla exhaust and Eventuri intake as the only "performance" mods to my '24 Z51. Without a tune, is it worth installing the 91mm Soler throttle body? I got it cheaper for BF sale but not sure if it's worth the hassle and might return it.

Thinking about cam headers down the road as well but haven't decided yet.

If you want a "sharper" throttle response, I would say yes. I started with the Soler throttle controller, and it improved the throttle response very noticeably. I think you would expect the same thing from their ported throttle bodies, and I've read many threads here where owners installed both Soler products.

If you're going to keep building the engine up, you're going to want one eventually. I guess the answer depends on your intentions with the car.
