Their are a lot of people receiving X-Metal TB. Did anybody install it yet, if so how do you like it?
Does it give you more HP like they said it will?

PM sent. Don't forget about Roe Racing. They also have a quality unit: Roe Racing Performance Parts
Mine is in. First thing you will notice is much better throttle response. It is now immediate, whether partial or full throttle. the look is great and is not too bad to install. Worth the price, especially at the group buy price.

Just got mine a few days ago. Still enjoying it on my desk. Hope to install it soon. I was wondering if you have to get your ecm reprogramed after the install? I had DC do it and was wondering if this changes the air fuel mix?

I received mine but car is garaged for the winter along with me being stuck out in the Sand. I am sure there will be results by the time I get to installing mine. I got pics of mine and it sure does look good.

FWIW, when I purchased DC's Flash for my SRT Ram, and the Viper, I was told that it was designed to work with all bolt-ons. So no adjustments should be needed.
Never hurts to ask though.

Just wondering how many people have Throttle Body on their Vipers?

Roe did his group buy a few months before X-metal and I think he sold about the same number.

WOW ! My X-Metal throttle body showed up today and it looks AWESOME! Group buy was a great deal - Thank You! Now if spring would just get here and if I could just get my Street Serpent completed.
Had to turn off the flash to get the first pic - BLING!

Is their any idle issues with the X-Metal Throttle Body?
I got mine installed but the throttle is sticking a little bit at idle. about 50% of the time the car will idle between 1000-1500 until it hit the pedal once or twice and then it drops on down. I am going to take another look at it. As for the drivability, I can definitely tell a difference. On the positive it is much more responsive just off idle and the low rpm. have not had the dyno yet. doing that friday. On the negative, it is much more responsive just off idle...so it will jump a bit when driving slow in 1st if you are not careful. overall, I love it. just need to work out the idle issue.

PJJP, Nader and I are having similar problems, there's another current x-metal thread discussing a possible fix

My engine builder told me that the blade should have been angle cut and not squared off. The proper way to fix this is to remove the blade and have it re machined with the proper edge. Or an even better fix it to have it made out of brass
Can you explain the theory about being angle cut? Any why out of brass?
