BillWS6Formula,

Thanks for the pics again. I added a different plate screw since that just to get the plate adjustment perfect. I'll have to say it helped a ton and didn't lose any measureable CFM. You got one of the lucky ones with the countersunk screws. Those were very hard to get to work right, so for quality reasons I went to a hex head screw.

Bret
No prob Bret...cool about the TB blade - mine worked perfectly though, was honestly 100% plug 'n play!

I had a few with issues and I had to re-adjust the blade. So to save that hassell I upgraded the setup, for a higher quality product. Small refinements have made the TB's become a plug and play mod, which is pretty handy considering what some mods need for tuning.

If it's idling too high, re-adjust the blade in the bore and drop the idle set screw. It shouldn't stick. If that doesn't work, put in a truck blade with the smaller idle hole.

Bret,
I got one of the countersunk screw TB's and had to do alittle work to get the blade not to hit, but it was minimal. TB is great! Bret's customer service was hard to beat, lord knows I bothered him enough!

Bret, I was wondering if you can do a fully polished throttle body with a clear coat on it?

Like that one? I got him to the point before polishing. Then he did all the polishing work, a polished finish should hold up pretty well, the clear coat will just make it look worse. It's not like a automotive clear coat.

How do you work the whole core deal Bret? Can you send your core out after you've already installed the ported and polished one, or do you have to do it before?

We do have some cores. I have a few out there right now that people are yet to send me back. It's easier to send me yours and I do the work on it and send it back to you, but I know not all guys can do that.

My car is a daily driver so what kind of turn around time would I have to expect if I did send it off?
