Goes without saying, absolutely amazing build. The craftsmanship is truly top notch.

Question, this could be elementary, but I was wondering if you could explain the relationship between the DBW throttle body and the dual quad throttle bodies on the Holley intake. Are the dual quad bodies just there to hold the "air cleaner" or do they actually serve a mechanical or sensor function for engine operation?

Just curious, as it is the first time I have seen a setup like that.

Throttle bodies serve no actual purpose. We removed the throttle blades from them. They give the air cleaner a place to sit. DBW throttle body is on the firewall giving us a huge long intake runner.

Thanks guys. The Vortech guys asked us to remove the hood to better show the parts they are at sema to sell. So we took the hood off.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
