Brad, if I wanted an optimized TB for ATX Zetec, would I have to find my own core to send you? Or conversely, have a dead car until you're done -- and in that case, what kind of turnaround time are you talking about?

I think I'm interested, if the price is reasonable and the logistics aren't too dreadful.

I wonder how much gain comes from just sharpening the edges of the plate? I could do that...

But the other main problem I notice is that, with the CTA intake, the top end needs to be a lot more tapered so as to not have a lip where the air comes in. Is this part of your optimizing?


96 GL Zetec ATX, white with pinstripe, nickname " Sam Smooth "
mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid
planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip
involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure
