Exactly...no boosties until October

Maybe ill just go straight for a 4.0 blower instead of keep dicking around with this 2.3 blower and trying to make an 8rib work with it.

Got my TB ready for whenever my 45 degree 5" mandrel pipe from China shows up...$36 sure beats $170 the bloody americans wanted!

Had to use a piece of rubber to take up the slack of the 4.5" to 5" adapter I used since my TB is something like 4.125" and a 4" was too small.

This ebay throttle body, along with my old Nick Williams throttle body both absolutely scream when the IAC valve is more than 80% open, very loud high pitched sound. Works fine, just loud. With the 4.0 whipple, I think I will use 2 of these ebay units with a cool single throttle cable system I have in mind.

Why not just have a custom pulley made with the correct spacing? Seems like the simplest option at this point.
