Some times it pays off to fall back and regroup. Glad you got her fixed. Now get that thing dyno'd so we can see what type of numbers you get from the manifold/TB combo

Sometimes two steps forward and one step back works. It's always better to retrace your steps than to keep going forward if there is a problem. It just feels good to solve your own problem sometimes, but a little help from the forum is good too. Let's see the numbers now!

Happy New Year!

thanks again everyone. If there was a place here in Utah to dyno my car I would. I would like to know what kind of power I'm making with the BBK intake, manifold, throttle body, LG long tubes, high flow cats, and borla exhaust. I also sent the computer to Charle at RPM automotive.
