Tip in is when you are cruising along at 80 mph and you let off the gas because the bonehead in front of you is going 55 in the fast lane, when he moves over and you step back on the gas that moment is "tip in".
WHen you leave a stoplight, this is "tip in"
You get someone who can tune, you will have have no "tip in" issues.
My car drives amazingly well, I love it. I have AWESOME throttle response with big heads, big cam, big intake.
WHen I got mine from Intakeelbows.com, it had nothing in the "floor" of the elbow for the shortside radius. I mocked up a piece of manilla folder as to what I wanted and sent it back to Aaron and he welded a piece in. It seems to work well. Aaron has AWESOME customer service!
Here is a pic of my intake elbows.com elbow, shame he doesnt make them any longer.

Ray has EXACTLY what I was thinking about. One more question and its the same one CMan raised:
"Where would you connect all your Vacuum lines, map sensor, etc. to this type of intake? I'm just trying to figure out how complicated it will be, while still keeping it a street car?"

Mine had a piece of 1/8 aluminum plate welded on the back of the elbow. I drilled and tapped 5 ports in the back for vacuum. I used all the screw in vacuum ports that came off the stock intake.
I mounted the MAP sensor underneath the cowl. FPR is straight forward. And I put a "T" in for the line from the vented opti and A/C vacuum. One is used for PCV, the other for power brake vacuum.
I made me a little deal for the throttle cable.

How about the PCV as seen here: http://shbox.com/1/pcv.jpg
Am I missing anything else other than Vaccuum lines, MAP, PCV... anything else need to be connected?

I didn't realize it was that easy. Cost it also an issue though... this setup is already gonna cost a few $$$ and from reading here, it seems that the 58mm may be only a slight restriction versus the 90mm.
I forgot to thing of the EGR as well. It's mounted to the rear of the Intake like this: http://shbox.com/1/egr1.jpg
Anyone ever try saving it... or just discard it? I was thinking of connecting it somehow in case of a visual inspection from the authorities.
