Im not asking, Im telling. You make 6 of those, not 5, and there wont be any problems.

Well I gotta get 2 done for motors in the shop first! I want to make sure they are all right before I say they are ready to rock.

It's gonna be a while! By the sounds of it, I should speed things up.

Re: anyone make LT1 style TB adapters for the single plane conversion?

Since I was curious what was making such a difference, I modeled this and measured the difference in line of sight cross sectional area. I know this isn't 100% accurate in terms of airflow, but it atleast will give some insight due to the differences seen between a 58mm monoblade and a 90mm round throttle body. The column furthest left is always throttle angle for reference, and the last set of data shows the percentage larger of the 90mm throttle body. I used throttle angle in hopes of coming up with a custom throttle cam that I can machine here at work to equalize the effective flow area.

That explains a lot then Chris... huge differences at the lower end of the scale. Makes sense to me....

Talking Re: anyone make LT1 style TB adapters for the single plane conversion?

So this guy walks into a bar and has a seat next to this other gentlemen. He decides to strike up a conversation so he looks at the gentlemen and asks...

"Hey buddy, what do you think of that new Chrysler?". At which the gentlemen immediately responds, "I think they all suck".

"Well what about the new Ford?"..... "Yeah, those all suck too".

Finally, beginning to get a little frustrated, he turns to the other and asks... "Well what DO you like?" and the gentlemen smiles and says, "Why the ones I sell of course".

Re: anyone make LT1 style TB adapters for the single plane conversion?

lol....

So far all the elbows other than the PT and Wilson have this chopped off short side radius, I still don't get how that's going to feed the front cylinders well?
