and could i feed the IAC metered air thru the same lines as my MAP-sensor is reading?? perhaps add a vacuum reservoir to act as a "shock absorber" and give a more even MAP reading
Deuce -- You're way over thinking it... and before you've even installed it... or run the engine... I'm not flaming you here, please don't take my comments as 'mean' or ill intentioned.

Most of the systems out there have already taken throttle linkage movement and heat changes etc into consideration and have designed appropriate solutions.

Don't treat the throttle blades to your old skool carb fix - ala - drilling holes in them...

I was just down at WW Hot Rods listening to the 950 hp 8 stack system in the 32 Ford they built for a customer... it fired in nano seconds and didn't need so much as a blip of the throttle to fire and idle. In fact - Scott started it from outside the car by just reaching in and turning the key. Trust me when I tell ya - this motor was a beast!

One thing that these manifolds do really well -- the total elimination of REVERSION in the intake. This (I've been told) helps "eat" a big cam
