October 25, 200421 yr All I can say is that it is t3h difficult y0. The throttle cable routing is going to be a chore...as the IC/BOV is in the way...I am going to ahve to move the IC back it looks, becuase the linkage for hte throttle plate is going to interfere with the BOV...wiring the TPS should be easy tho... the mose difficult part will be bolting the XT6TB to the spyder intake....as the bolt spacing is much wider, and ofcourse the hole needs to be dremmeled out to accomodate the large opening in the TB... Maybe I will rotate the TB like Tex did...the only issue is hood clearance... ok, im off to put my race tires on wheels now me thinks.
October 25, 200421 yr Author Ok...now the plenum chamber is bored...and it looks like CRAP. But the edges are smooth....but the TB gasket surface on the plenum is f'ed up bad....good thing I've got some ultra copper RTV type stuff to fill the gaps...

I cut a wedge out of the throttle cable bracket so I could bend the bracket down. Does that make sense? It allows the throttle cable to approach the TB a bit lower, right under the BOV. I'll take pics if you need them.... gluck garner
