You gonna flame yourself as well? Or you gonna tell yourself to STFU? Don't make me dig up that post. I could go on and on about you, but I won't. Don't want to start anything, and it would turn into a flamewar. John

no sense in even responding to that... nothing is gained, no new information... if you really think i have no clue what i am talking about, just ignore me. but i am sick of people passing off bad advice without dyno testing mods to new comers. i spent too much of my own time and money on these wasteless mods... i just don't want the same thing happening to other people... i will gladly eat my words and apologize to anyone i have upset over this, if i am dyno proven wrong. i hope you all will do the same...

More like the thread about people blowing up SCd Duratecs, and when people made suggestions why it blew up, you went off on them, telling them to shut up, that they don't know what they're talking about, and to keep it to themselves. Again, I won't go into detail. Thanks for the apology anyway. John

John ok, well it just bothers me when people try and start a scare over something that they know nothing about, they just repeat something they heard in another thread and act like it is fact... i am not trying to scare anyone away from doing this mod by saying it will damage their car... i just doubt it will yeild any gains. i don't feel i have been hostile to anyone on this thread, but feel i have been treated with alot of hostility just because i don't agree with the idea of a larger tb... i also don't like the way everyone seems to "jump on the bandwagon" of attacking me... that is just childish. the only person i feel that has any right to really attack me is steve, cause he is actually providing some sort of rational. attacking my past and my signature is just childish... even if it is just a joke... however, if anyone feels i have treated them wrongly, i apologize... i just am not going to give up my side of the argument because someone insults me, or says i am wrong without any real proof.

I am almost complete with the howto. However, I am going to be getting a Mustang Throttle Cable today and try that out. If it does, perhaps some of the steps can be eliminated. Like cutting the shroud of the throttle cable and drilling the TB cam.
I will keep folks posted.
Thanks, --Matt

Are you using the stock diameter MAF with your new TB? Any error codes yet? I'm way interested in this mod. Seems like a larger TB/injectors/MAF combo works great for the stang guys. I know our motors have a very high specific output, but I think there's more in it. Thanks a ton for taking pics and putting together some instructions.
Oh and here's my $0.02:
I just think its funny how skeptical people are on this website, especially when it comes to new mods. I mean, if folks would just be patient while this guy finishes up testing and tweaking his mod and tests it, then maybe some of this arguing could be avoided. Seems like if we put all of our knowledge together rather than arguing about air velocity, inner diameters, and Roush's modification strategy, we can come up with a solid modification to help keep our cars faster than the pack....in case you haven't forgotten about the new breed of imports soon to hit our shores from honda/acura and nissan.
Keep us posted man...I'm all ears...and thanks!
