yes at this point its only 382.4cid 4.03 bore and 3.75. The next engine will really need it being 4.125 bore and stroke 4.0 that puts it at 427.

There is no sponcers that offer the monblade. Was told they picked theres up for like 475 or something like that.

AS&M Tb's are the best of the pack quality wise, no questions. Everything about them is top notch.

When I first saw the machining and polish work on the built in foil of my 58mm I was amazed.

Only problem with the MB is that there is no provision for the iac. Some seem to be able to tune around it. IDK

It has an IAC mount and passage for it, but the air just doesnt get forced into it like on the foil of the dual style TBs.

I do not get how it would work very well, since the intake air is moving very quickly over the hole and should create vacuum over that spot, sucking the air out of the bottom iac hole instead of letting air get in it. In either case I havent heard of people complaining about idle problems with them so it shouldnt be a problem.

Maybe I have it backwards, physics seems like ages ago

Could theoretically do an IAC delete for a full race setup and do away with it completely, but adjusting the idle on a big cam engine with a monoblade tb by only using a stop screw doesnt sound like fun x.x

my iac count is 0 right now, i am setting my idle by the throttle stop screw. after we tune it on the 30th, i'll see if the iac wants to function correctly. if not so be it.
