You just need to make sure that you can achieve WOT when you're all done. Like Keniff's pic above.

I have the entire UIM set-up including the TB. I can modify that bracket or look else where for a starting point?

I'm not familiar with the UIM setup you have. It might work just like it is, without modifying it? Do you have any pics?

Wait a sec. Does UIM = Upper Intake Manifold? When I read this earlier, I thought you were referring to a brand of a part.... whoops.

Ill get you a pic of mine. All i did was use 3 mounting points and slide the 99-02 cable bracket back far enough to open 100%. i thought i was having "return" issues with the tb blade so i added a carb spring to help the blade close
