I've seen it once or twice. I believe it's cable throttle only and not sure about MAF or filters.

I've contemplated purchasing a set and just machining/fixing them to work properly. The throttles stick when they get hot (LS1 tech, some drifting forums). Or building my own.

Even if they are cheap and of questionable quality... I'd much rather spend the money on those than a FAST intake. I've got no issues tinkering and making them work.

What kind of work would be involved in converting a C5 over to a throttle cable? And what kind of power increase could one expect?
