Miniram control cables
Does anybody have pics of the control cables with a mini ram and the TPIS 58 mm throttlebody 87 ish with auto trans. I have mine setup but the throttle cable and cruise cable are real close and I am afraid of a hung throttle problem. I just want to see some pics so I can be sure I have it rite.

If you can wait for my camara battery to charge I can take a pic of my 87. The TB is stock though. Takes about an hour. I can tell you that I had to slot the mounting holes in the TPIS bracket to get the TV cable correct along with getting wot on the throttle. A small pain in the butt to do. Very much worth it. The Mini rocks.

On the TPIS 58 MM both throttle and cruise cable are on the same side of the lever. I doubt they would ever touch and if they did I don't think it would cause the throttle to hang wide open I guess I am just being paranoid. Thank you for taking the picture. Is your MR on a 350 and why did you stay with the factory TB?

Yes its a 350. ZZ4 combination. Old TB still works great, "if it aint broke dont fix it" is what they say. It takes a lot of motor to need a bigger TB.

Like in how much bigger. Tpis said I would need a 58MM tb for my 383 with Race Rite 200 heads and Tpis lt headers. What will it do to my HP if it's too big or do your think it's the right size tb.

You know, both my cables were on the same side originaly but I had to move the cruise to the inside to keep them from colliding when I opened the throttle.
