    Great videos Matt! I am in my break in period and installed the tb today as well as an Attack Blue filter. Those clips were a bitch, ended up cutting some and doing my own zip ties on a couple of them. Otherwise the air box would not have come out, in hindsight tho it could have stayed in and the tb could be removed w/ the airbox in place. Glad I'm not doing it again lol.
    I took the opportunity to also Dynomat the rear cargo area and keep the temps lower. Again great channel, keep up the great work and smiles!

    Was running a consistent 3.1 second 0-60 in my non-Z51 C8.

    Think a high flow filter should help more due to higher flow due to less restriction and would use a combo. I know the performance high flow filter did increase hp and tq due to the before and after DynoJet results on my C8. Can be got for about $100.00. In the past I saw little to nothing from ported TB's in the 1/8 or 1/4 on the 2 C7's I owned.

I broke 2. Getting the red wire clips to come loose was APITA. The 2 air box bolts in the back were hard to reach also. Stuff like that and having to lay a cross the motor to reach things just made it no fun. It took me 6 hours to do the whole job. But the TB is noticeable. However, I am past the point of return and that TB is not coming off. I'm doing headers next. Wish me luck.

      Just finished the install. Thanks Matt for the video, but I agree somewhat with Motley Mick in that it ain't no piece o' cake as a 1st time effort. Took me 3 hours. I must admit, I was prepared and had purchased a bag of those Fir Tree cable ties from Amazon in case I broke any. And sure enough, they came in handy. Also handy is one of those fir tree removal tools, Both are cheap and well worth the $6! I also found out the hard way that the bottom of the Airbox needs to come out 1st when removing and then the top needs to go in 1st when reinstalling. Took some practice!
      Car seems snappier, and I'm guessing it should get even better as the MCU learns to accommodate the increased air flow. My $02 !!
