I was asked about throttle body that I posted...



I will answer here; It is a fiero throttle body...~5Xmm in ID, plenty and not so GInomous like the stock '97-'03 TB...

Plans have also changed regarding TB/MAF...
As I said before I was debating the issue whether to run a draw thru v. blow thru...well it would seem at this point in time a suck thru will be more favorable...I am also going to be using the hitachi style MAFs (stock 3800 units)

This is a Graped and molested unit...(just the external unwanted pieces). This way I don't have to bother trying to reprogram another unit's tranfer function or recalibrated...



I will definately see what I can getaway with using the ARCII module...

Thanks..but I've settle with Ok-ish clamps. But I'll keep that in mind.

I'll see what you do for a air filter setup if you do nocutt...since im in the same boat..no room. Im still airfilterless. Not ideal for dusty commutes.

Not ideal at all, especially small rodents and rocks...Good for power though  

I appreciate the kind words Tgtu...
this is what I will be doing....still in the brain phase, I would like a 4" intake into the hairdryer...pick up will be in the fenderwell...



and here, I was having a hissy fit on how I wanted each bank divorced when amalgamating the W/G...
Rex reinforced an option that had seemed difficult to do due to my space limitations, anywayz Chris West basically spared me the headache...



I think it looks waaayz better than what I had initially fabb'd...'function over form'...lol!!
