so my photobucket account exceeded its bandwidth for the month =[ no photos until the 7th!!
but today i went and and did a bit of flex test. I only had so many cinder blocks or i could have gone higher, the rear wheel was still firmly planted on the ground
either way i did score a 898 on a 20* ramp. not to bad i guess

So today i got the smart idea to bore my throttle body!!

It went okay using a hand drill! NOT!
so i went and got a new one. Problem was i had a 96 and i got one off a 94(its all they had) the differences are the 94 does not have the provisions for the MAP sensor because it is mounted seperately


So to solve this i drilled out a zerk fitting so i could attach the MAP sensor




Then i got to work with the lath(after i got shown how to use it correctly)

62mm of nice bored smoothness

and everything mounted up

I did end up having to make a new butterfly disk... Other than that it works really awesome! a great improvement in throttle response. No whistle either.
