I love it.

I think it would awesome as hell if you got some of the 6.0 badges from the GTO's and replaced your 5.0 badges. Nice suttle bragging.

Thanks,

The MAF/IAT came with the harness kit from GM. It comes with an aluminum mounting boss and the directions say to mount it in a 100mm (4-inch) pipe at least 10-inches from the TB. You can see the sensor in the under hood pictures near the left side of the intake tubing....

I'll PM you my number.

Not yet. I'm out of town until the 9th so it will probably be the following week. The car runs much better though now that I've driven it a few times. Only has a small surge at low rpms, but that's it.

Not to hijack you thread but here is some pics of my fox. Notice how it has a second set of tranny mounts (the 4 cyl auto trans was bolted to it) The happen to line up with the tranny mount. I want to use the as my mounting point but the holes are farther apart than the other mounts so I would need a long crossmember.

Finally got the car tuned today. I'm pretty happy considering it's a stock motor with a cam and headers. Thanks to Patrick at Quality Motorosports and Adam at ADM Performance for their time. It was a little bit of a outside-of-the-box type deal and not quite as straight forward as we first thought. Cars runs great and feels real strong now. I was out at the local 1/8 mile yesterday before the car was tuned and hit a 8.31 at 90mph with 3:27 gears and street tires of course. Cruised home at 75mph and the motor was chugging along at 1800rpms. Who knows how much power it made before we tuned it, but if feels like around 25-30 more hp now today after the tune

Jw33...stupid question but did you convert to a throttle-by-cable or did you somehow modify the TC pedal assembly to accept what's needed to operate the TBW setup?

TIA.
