Those w/sheet metal intakes, what type of intake setup are you running?

So I take it that the LS1 TPS sensor does not bolt to the throttle body? You have to use the Ford, but it must be rewired? Are the harness plugs the same?
On the IAC, is the old school Chevy with an adapter the only way to do it?
If so, what brand/part number is the IAC and where do you get the adapter?

yeah is there someone that can expand on this? i'm about ready to bolt my 105 accufab together but i'd like some ideas on it an how they mounted the cable and stuff. i figured i'd mount my TB upsidedown so the cable was on the drivers side and easier to route. plus i dont like the way the TB blade opens when it's mounted normally

Nick Williams doesn't have anything bigger than a 90mm yet, but he's still working on the bigger ones.
I imagine once he makes them, they might be easier to use as far as installing TPS and IAC, and linkage. Just a guess, though.

Is this the only way to do it/for it to work properly?

1) Get the Mustang 105mm TB, I got Wilson 105mm TB from Jason @ texas speed for a very good price.
2) Get connectors from EFI connection(less than $3)
3) Get Ford TPS
4) rewire ford TPS to 3 wire weatherpak or GM TPS harness-> The connectors have letters on the slots
C goes to A
A goes to B
B goes to C
5) Get old style IAC from Fast
6) Get IAC block from Fast also I think I paid 75 for both
7) You need an IAC pigtail from Efi connection($6)
LS1 connector to 4x4 connector
Pin D goes to Pin A
Pin C goes to Pin B
Pin B goes to Pin C
Pin A goes to Pin D

Low tech mount, you could also use a piece of aluminum bent @ a 90 degree angle.

Here is a wilsom sheet metal intake with a wilson 105mm TB. It pluged in. We are using a BigStuff 3 harness. Just call Wilson to see who is a seller for them.

I installed the lid, MAF, and bellow yesterday to see how it was going to line up with the throttle body, not even close. I turned the bellow upside down, and it was closer, but still not going to work. I don't plan on using the MAF, but the throttle body is still angled down pretty far and I'm not sure how I'm going to connect it to the lid or if I should reconsider redoing the entire intake tract.
Need more ideas. Thanks.

So you're saying that you've seen drag setups with nothing at the end of the throttle body? What about filtration?
I can't seem to find Madman's big gulp setup on Thunder's site. I figured it would be on there since he teamed up with them.

Wow, how can that be good for the engine with no filter? I know its a drag car that only sees short passes a 1/4 mile at a time. I would THINK routing some type of piping from the front of the car, the openings in the facsia for example, to the throttle body would be better than nothing at all because it would be getting fresh/cool/forced air as opposed to hot air in the engine bay.
