Post for some info to others
Post for some info to others First off I would like to state that even after reading this post I STILL respect This company.
The company is Nitrous Outlet , The two people i dealt with is Chris and Graham.
The problem as i see it is this .....I brought the 58 mm plate for the LT1, PAID for it the same day, and then was told that I had to wait for it to be made and shipped to me, this period of time was close to 5-6 weeks after recieving product ,with the great ideal of installing it to the car I am faced with modding the fitmit to the intake....
1). You have to add spacers to extend the throttle bracket, which you also have to grind the throttle bracket to fit up against the intake.
2) You are told to use the factory throttle body bolts to bolt it back in place after adding the NOS plate... any one with some smarts would know that if you add a 1/2 to 5/8 of plate ....you would need that same amount longer bolt.
3) I am also thinking that you may still need to do grinding on the water thermosat housing to make this fit....not yet sure on that.
4) I did not get any type of install sheet
5) I did not understand that grinding some parts was part of install
For people reading this before I get to talk to chris or graham ....this is just a note to be aware of.
i will be calling one of them asap monday to find out my options so i can finish my install of this plate......
thanks
I am looking for any advice to help copmplete this asap

I have been on the phone with nitrous outlet today and the concerns are being taken care of I hope...
The bolt issue could have been that I was shipped the wrong one's.... I have been told they are willing to ship the right ones
