I got a reply from Kevin:

Quote:

Jeff,
Here is what I need to proceed;
-good pictures of the throttle body on the engine with the intake hose removed.
-someone to come by my shop with a tc a week after I get the pictures to fit and test the TB.
any takers??
Thanks,
Kevin

Is there no one near simi valley that could go to his shop?

MotorFX I think tried to do some, but the project was somewhat difficult and not cost effective I think.

As would I, if only out of curiousity. I would have thought someone would have liked this mod with the new IM that came out, especially this FI guys.

Pros: More air could enter the cylinder chamber thus making the ECU throw more fuel, thus making more power.

Cons: If the throttle body doesn't align perfectly to the Intake Manifold, it could actually lower power gains by contricting airflow.

U would really like to see this in the action. It could help a lot of us here in the forum.
