Does the flat TB use all stock style connectors/harness or would I have to modify anything to make it work? I like that idea for clearance issue I see coming up..

yes, it comes with GM IAC and TPS sensors, they just plug right in. I modified the wiring harness slightly to make them reach. very easy to do.

that's only for the street will not be on at the track. I will run with it on and off when I dyno it just for the hell of it. speaking of which, i was supposed to dyno yesterday, but the weather didn't cooperate. I will try to dyno early this week.

So you've already run 10 passes at the track? How are your ETs? If you decreased your ET, you'll be the first I've seen. Everybody else who's tried the single planes have ET'd slower.

yes, I've ran 10 or 12. I've been working out a lot of tuning and chassis bugs, and still have some to work out. I did run a new best yesterday by a few thousandths, with a worse 60'. 1.45 vs 1.50 yesterday.

it looks like it is going to be a wash over the fast 90/90. that MAY be an issue with my heads though, they just don't seem to want to make any more power.


I have not seen anyone post that they lost ET can you show me the threads please?

Looks great!

Can you find another air cleaner? I have seen that type kill numbers on engines before.

I will NOT run the filter at the track. the main point of it was to pull in cold air instead of pulling in hot air under the hood

as you can see, there is a hole cut in the hood for it
