Cool, thanks for the information on the throttle body.

Did you have sticking problems pocket? I know mine did. I ended getting tired of fooling with it and got a NW 92mm.

Yes, it was a simple fix. The blade actually goes beyond fully closed, so the idle screw was bumped up until it stopped sticking and the TPS reset to 0. The SC creates quite a vacuum so it sticks, but nothing worse than any TBI car. Learn to drive with your foot, not a toe

Yeah on the one I got even with the idle screw out far enough to where it was idling way too high it would still stick. I heard about fixing them by readjusting the throttle blade on the shaft, but honestly didn't want to fool with it any more. I heard good things about the NW TB and pulled the trigger. Glad you got yours to work so well.

There was a forum dedicated to that type of blower for a while. One of the admins was a former employee and said there were three kits sold

Two CF members and the company shop car

Maybe theres more, maybe theres three. We'll never know, but I wish there were thousands

I can't believe this company went belly up?!?! This seems like it would sell like crazy if the price was right.

Your builds are the best! Really liked 112 one.
How do you like the solid motor mounts? I've been considering, but worried might be alittle harsh??

Thanks

Solid mounts are no problem for LSx engines. SBCs will rattle your teeth where LSx will barely ripple a glass of water at idle. I could feel the difference in mounts, but it didn't bother me at all
