Just finished TH-fix

Not bad, not bad at all - tried many different size holes, 3/16",15/64",1/4". In my original post asking info on fix I got a reply on a 5/64" size hole - got many respones back stating this was a typo & yes it was ( way too small ) but this brought up the idea of trying 3 - 5/64" holes instead of the popular 15/64" and found that it works better. With the 15/64" hole I noticed when in 1st(ATX) and climming I could let off of the accel and it would literaly "drop" into 2nd , a little heavier than I would like. I then drilled 3 small 5/64" holes in a triangle pattern and found after doing so its ALOT harder for the tranny to change like this. Not sure why but maybe do the same amount of air passing through but at a higher rate per sq. mm ? anyway wanted ta let ya know for who cares & only time will tell if these smaller holes will need cleaning

FYI area scales as radius squared, so three holes 5/64 are not the same as one 15/64

r=5/64=0.078125
Area = Pi r^2 = 0.019174
3x Area = 0.05752

that equivalent to a single hole of radius
0.13531
or approximately 9/64

hehe... the wizzz , just yank the thing off!

Someone should make a variable valve that correspondes with the throttle cable instead of a copper cap...

Someone should make that Tornado Air airflow thing to fit in the IAC hose of our cars, that might work
