Have cereal next time... It's grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! Although it can get soggy if left alone and uneaten.

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

The other problem with cereal is the milk gets warm. :(

Arnie...after you work on this .030" or whatever it is with this throttle body, I think you should go after Ford next. Rumor has it the 302 engine is not really a 5.0, but rather a 4.9xxx engine. :shock: :thumb:

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

hey cmsdave, when is the next throttle body gp going to be. i missed this one but i wont one of these bad. no matter if it is 57 or 58mm.

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

Use a ceramic bowl, and keep it in the freezer when not in use. Tada! :p Problem solved. So long as you eat it semi quickly. Otherwise, you could throw some ice cubes in it. But make sure the milk is homogenized / high fat stuff. Studies have shown that ice in 2% milk makes it turn to the consistency and taste of soy milk.

:D

Dave (at CM) check your PMs.

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

HEY DAVE or other people with input,

I have a question about porting out the intake for a 93 speed density Z28 with ported intake?
I copied these photos from B. Franker.
Is this correct removal of material?
If I don't remove the lower center section does it restrict that much air flow?
The intake is bolted on the new 383 motor but I can always stuff a rag in it and grind it down an vacummn out the alum filings.
Thanks,
Jim

I hope this works

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

Just to let you know, my bud's car is still running fine with the AS&M monoblade and a port job like that. He's not had any problems that I'm aware of.

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

Thanks Brent.

For the other Monoblade users I got a quick response back from Ben Benavides at ASM.

Here is his answer on the Monoblade:

"That hole is for the idle air circuit. Our TB design does not utilize that
passage."

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

Was surfing around and read thru this and thought I might be able to help some of you out. My 396 with Monoblade had wide split BLM's at idle. I put a metal 'gasket' in between the IAC and the TB. I then externally tapped the IAC and ran a fuel line hose to the port on the intake that feeds intake manifold IAC cavity. http://fastblackcar.com/camaro/fullsize/intake.jpg
In the pic Jordon's port has a plug in it. Worked well for me. Good luck.
If I can be of any help let me know.

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

Most of us are aware of that, which includes their 57 mm TB as well. The question is why? According to AS&M these TBs are designed to replace oem TBs, so why isn't the IAC a functional circuit? OEM TBs have a functinal IAC circuit.

There is still one of the original TB engineers on the AS&M payroll, so a legitimate answer SHOULD be forthcoming.

Re: Arizona Speed And Marine TB GP
 

Ok, enough.
This original post was for a Group Purchase of A throttle body and most of the replys have been positive.
The GP has been completed to the members that participated.
If there is discussion on specifications and general 'lack' of knowledge then it is time to close this post and continue the discussion another forum/topic.

Since I was one of the originators that pushed this GP request to purchase (in my opinion) the best TB available for the money spent; I am requesting a or the moderators to CLOSE THIS POST!

Jim
PS : Thanks Dave for your great service and hard work on this GP.
