Are you sure you are not a shill for that other company and their product???
Which part makes you think that? The part where I said I'd buy one?

It's common knowledge that it's 8.6 out of 10 that say they feel a difference. Get you're F'n facts straight.

I gained 25hp going from stock tb and K@N CAI to VMAXX and ROTO-FAB! Same dyno. Was a hotter day also. I know it's just a # but that is what I gained. Also I'm far from stock.

I just tested mine this past sat..it's hard to tell because I also have new shorty headers . It's does feel instant.....but it's cold as well.

I've been told (by a very reputable tuner) that unless you're going to add some major mods, it's really not worth it.

added a VMAX about 2 months ago. could feel the difference in throttle response, especially when just cruising around neighborhood. its quicker to respond and your foot feels connected to the motor. WOT pulls feels the same before/after. well worth the 150, but now i wish i paid 75 from "the source"

Ive been told by a reputable tuner too that its not worth it.
Ive had/have one on both of my LS3 cars and respectfully disagree.

We have been porting LS throttle bodies for 10+ years and have it down to a science. Since members have asked in this thread, we do them for $75 plus shipping which is the price mentioned in the previous posts (you have to send us your throttle body).

You can order the service right here AKA the source lol:

I ported my own LS1 throttle body, even though I haven't finished my full LS swap. I hope I get that awesome throttle response everyone talks about! I'm waiting to do the bump stop mod until I get it finished and can hook up a scanner to find the sweet spot from the TPS reading

TPS spot isn't hard at all to hit on the cable TBs.
