Default ported TB.

Does anyone have any real world test of a ported throttle body on an LS3? any actual track test?

It's not going to give you enough by itself to produce any definitive result.

Every bits count...Got one along with a ported/rod modded IM. I like it and I did improve my 1/4 mile time by 0.2-3 with no retune IIRC.

No offense, but i don't get when people say "i bolted on x along with y and z and i shaved two tenths," and on top of that say nothing about DA or other variables between the two track visits they are comparing.

From what we have seen with ported throttle bodies the only real gain is in slight throttle response. Hope this helps

The little I've seen, your shop has more experience then a lot of others so I would take your word for it.

Thanks for the info! Always nice for some real world results to dispel the flood of marketing we hear in this community.
