Default ? for those with stock T.B. mounted upside down...

We have found the Trail Blazer T.B. to have issues on extended runs... The T.B. starts to close due to voltage drop... I need to use my stock C6 T.B. and since I have the FAST intake manifold + S/C (you that have this combo already no my dilemma) I must mount the stock T.B. upside down for the servo motor to clear, as to be on the opposite side, so it's not in the way of the ATI head unit.
1) I know the Power Steering res must be relocated either by bending the mounting bracket out of the way or by some other means of relocation.
and...
2) I know I also must make an extension for the T.B. wiring harness, as I cannot see how the stock length will reach...
Please help with any experience you may have on this, It is and will be MUCH appreciated!!!
P.S. I checked with www.casperselectronics.com (great source for all car electronics specialty stuff) already via their web site, I'll call them tomorrow, they have no extension for the T.B. listed on the web site
hopefully they will agree to make me one via special order...
Thanks again,
Jeremy

Wha wha wha... Is this in reference to the TrailBlazer SS?? I had no idea it dropped voltage. I do know that for some reason (more than likely the torque management), the throttle only opens to 100% when over 4000 rpms..
Interesting... How come it doesnt happen with the C6 TB?
