I agree that many are going to be losing out on the gains if they are not seeing the throttle be 100% open. stepping up to the 90mm throttle body isn't going to gain you much cfm if it doesn't open all the way. I'm hoping to figure this out soon.

I would contact speartech personally as he might be a better source for integration issues

yeah, i realize that. I'm not sure what he could do either, but Richard personally asked me to keep him up to date on any and all feedback i have for this conversion. this is deffanetly something he should know about. i do realize though that he probably will not be able to help in this matter.

Try speartech, ask for john, I'm sure he can help or at least point us in the right direction.
maybe this can all be solved through tuning (CrashDummy, Flyer?) if not, then maybe the next step is to look at the TAC module and/or wiring harness, just some thoughts for now

I'm aware of the issues some are having with respect to the throttle blade resolution and am looking for a fix. Nearest I can tell the trucks with the issue are '05 and '06 models althought not all '05 are having the problem. I don't have a DBW truck to experiment on so I'm having to rely on others to help with this. My suspicion here is the TAC modules, but I'm open to any help or suggestions regarding this matter. If the issue does come down to the TAC module, I'll be happy to replace the ones that are having problems. 
I'd like some feedback from everyone as to the engine and year of your trucks and if your experiencing the tb issue.
