I'm using a Lokar universal cable. I just measured from the firewall to where I needed it and added like three inches or four inches down to the gas pedal... i had to trim it but it worked fine.... and yeah i know you're getting the cage done, my car is down at Robbie's right now making some touch-ups on the cage and making sure the steering rack is bent back straight....

Does anyone know if putting two 4500 style TB on the top of the intake involves cutting into the windshield?

Not the windshield, just the cowl.

Id assume absolutely so with 2x4500s, but Id have to ask why would you do that? Can make 1000 NA with one

Better flow distribution. Has to be worth some power.

I doubt it would be worth much of anything on sub 1500 flywheel NA.

A good single plane, and 4500 flange guys are going low 8s NA. LS1 is just a motor, take about same airflow to make same power should be not much different.

One of the PI intakes, and a 4500 flange, and forget about what you think might be left on the table. Has less to do with the TB and more to do with the manifolding in my opinion, TB is just a valve.

to answer your question. running a dual plane setup with 2 4500 style throttle bodies will reguire cutting back into your window. i dont really see that being to neccisary unless you plan on breaking 8 seconds.

Does the 4500 throttle body have as much as an advantage when used in a forced induction application with a carb style hat on it?

I Didn't See A Response To This Question, Kinda Curious About It.

Actually, I do have the drivers side wiper still working. I cut and re-welded the rod and now the drivers side is actually connected to the wiper motor.

Yeah I am going to run something for a filter, just haven't decided what? I have a windshield length hood coming, so I may build an air pan and use a regular round K&N filter, not sure yet. The hood doesn't get here until next week.

Where you guys buying the 4500 and 4150 TB's from? I'm just wondering who has the best deals on them.
