worked for me

the question though is whether or not it was even worth the effort.

OK now it works for me. I bet there's a noticeable improvement in throttle response but when all is said and done I doubt it was worth it.

Not that great for a street car, the vacuum issues suck.. Single TB works just as well on the street, the throttle response may not be as snappy but it should be better behaved..
If I was going to go through all that work, I would go the one step farther and make a plenum box around it for turbo use. At least then the drawbacks would be overshadowed by the extra ITB turbo fun.. You could make use of the second set of injector bosses that you'd have on that setup also.. Sounds like fun, anyone want to try?

Could have at least put a filter on it too..

if you've got any mechanical knowledge and about 3 hours of free time, why not take the extra power? and yeah that site is like hella old.

For $100, thats not bad. I'm not sure how much power benefits he would get though. It would probably sound badass as hell.
