bleh, i wouldn't let him do any mods to the throttle body. i don't mess with them in street car applications unless something severely aggressive is done because the R+D on them was done fine, if he's removing the secondary plates as i think he is then you will just be losing bottom end torque and gaining next to nothing in the top end range.

took the word's right out of my mouth..i started thinking about that too..but then again he might be polishing up the body and keeping everything intact. that's why i dident say anything about it.

I plan on racing this car so it's not just going to be a street car. I really don't know exactly what he's doing with the throttle body, i'm letting him do his thing with my engine. I trust him and he builds GREAT quality engines so I'm not worried.

Nope. My car was not ready and I had to get some things ready because my mom got married on Sunday. I should have my motor in my car by early this week. I went to the shop and checked it out and it is basically done. It looks fuc*n $weet!!! I'll post pics when I get it for everyone. Hopefully the next meet. Any time frame on when that will be?
