Has anyone tried the new SLP throttle body yet? I just bought one but was wondering if anyone has seen any results.

 

id also like to know.. im debateing on weather i should get one or not.. some say decient gains others have said few gains unless your running 400rwhp or more.. so im kinda confused also

 

It looks sweet. Show quality finish and it comes with all the sensors and no core charge.

 

what did ya pay for that thing.. i cant decide whats next on the list either a throttle body or gears.. im leaning toward gears but let us know what the butt dyno says once the throttle bodys installed

 

SLP price was $169.00 +S&H. From what everyone says the TB realy doesn't gain much. Gears will really let you feel it. I went from a 2.73 to a 3.73. Major difference. It's going to be a while for the dyno. The car is in the shop getting a anw FLP level4 tranny.

 

it must be just a ported and polished stock TB for that price.

gains will be pretty minimal...but the look may be worth it.

any links

 

Check out the SLP web site. www.slponline.com. Its under F-body and New items.

Its a stock one that is cleaned up nice.

 

I heard somewhere that the stock throtle body flow qualities were good upto 600 hp. I think the larger TB would be best felt and appreciated if you are running a large cam requiring heavy flow #'s. Is the SLP TB larger diameter or just ported? And I agree, shiny parts are allways welcomed. LOL

 

It looks like a ported stocker.

They don't increase the TB diameter, just clean it up for smoother flow. (Get rid of the ridge in front of the blade etc.) From what I've heard it gives you better throttle response.

 

What about the throttle cam? 98-99 throttle bodies supposedly open faster than 00-02 throttle bodies.

 

My foot's heavy enough. It open's pretty fast!--Jab=Vroom!

 

this article says they got 5 rwhp from installing an 85 mm throttle body. and another 12 from there SLP longtube headers with cats.

 

Just bought the TB, figure that you'd spend a little mor than that to have it P+P'd, add in sensors.....what the hey.....better throttle response...YEAH!

 

i somehow feel like mentioning i can give you contact info for a professional machinist who will port an LS1 TB for $50 plus shipping.

he's a retired engineer who has worked as a machinist for 40+ yrs

PM me for contact...i have pics of the one he did for me

 

DOH!! Oh well, yeah I think I've seen the TB you had done on your cardomain page, same, but what about shipping from CT?...Well, the TB's in the mail. My uncle did the heads on his Caddie-Northstar, he said it felt like an extra 70 hp....But...Yeah, I've gotta return that WOT V-booster when I get home. I've got so many boxes of parts waiting for me, I've gotta sift through them. ...Desert $ bought me goodies!
