As of right now I am. I need to get it over to my tuner to get it on the wideband for a part throttle tune and get it on the street.
problem im having right now is fabbing an air intake system. this throttle body is huge and pointed down. I just bought a really expensive custom K&N filter, and my polished radiator shroud is on the way (I got it cause its flat instead of the airbox.)
Thing is, I'm having trouble getting 4 1/8th inch (105mm) poly tubing to make the 60 degree turn up and out to where the air filter will be on the shroud. I dont wanna reduce it, cause that defeats the purpose of going 105mm.
Been talking with turbohoses.com and they dont make a 60 degree turn in anything bigger then 3 1/2. So I gotta either figure out a way to use 45 degree or a 90 degree and make it work. no to mention that **** is EXPENSIVE. like 100 bucks for a 90 degree bend. 80 per foot of strait 4" hose.
if anyone knows somewhere where I can get 4 1/8th inch hose that's not so expensive, or just some type of rubber instead of high temp poly, let me know. I cant find any in that size.
so yeah, once that gets figured out, take it for the part throttle tune and see how it runs. then decide on the intake.

lol yeah. Its like take what you paid for your car and double it. thats about how much I have in it.
I wish fbodies were priced in 01 when I bought it like they are now. I paid 23,000 dollars for my car when I bought it. That means there's over 40k in this car. omg im stupid. lol
