Keith,
How did the dual throttle bodies work out? Are you happy with them, tuning easy? I loved the way they looked last year, just did not know how the tuning would work out. I see alot of work there since last year. Oh, I like the headlights too.

Thank you guys. I was pretty nervous posting the car back up. Wasn't sure how my absence was going to be percieved but I'm glad most understand. The car pretty much had to be torn apart and completely re-assembled. There has been a ton of work since SEMA. The devil is definitely in the details. The car runs well enough to toodle around but you can't get into it yet because of the lack in tuning. I've had her up to 65 and I was terrified because nothing was overheatting, breaking, smoking or making noise which to me is just the calm before the storm. Nothing leaks and we have just a bit of whine still from powersteering which I assume is just the hydroboost begging to be abused some. So far the car seems incredibly self-assured and driving it is easy. I have a feeling after i get her back tommorow afternoon she'll be a bit of a handful. I'm sure the tuning will be a bit challenging since the dual TB linkage is tandem and not progressive. The hardest part of the setup was getting an aircleaner that would clear the cowl and have enough useable surface area to be effective. So we fabricated one...many thanks to my friend Shane of ATS. I'll have more up for you guys soon.
-Keith
