OBX ITB for LS1

Has anyone actually installed the OBX ITB on their C5? Looking for any actual experiences and review. Thanks in advance for any info.

I would expect that it won't clear the cowl like the Harrop, requiring you to do some ugly cutting.

Probably right. Pictures I have seen of the Harrop installs looked to have the cowl cut for the fuel rails to clear.

how is that going to work on a C5 that has DBW?

note: DBW = drive by wire (no throttle cable)
