i've done mine... you can screw it up easily around the throttle blade... there's a little ridge right behind the throttle blade when it's closed - i grinded that off - then the idle was WAAAYYY too high becuase of all the air getting around the blade... a simple fix was JB welded the little hole in the throttle blade and that fixed the problem. as far as the intake side of the throttle body, just try and make everything as smooth as possible.
