Did you use RTV to attach the TB to the IM?

I've been having some weird high idle issues since I swapped manifolds and I'm having a hard time pinpointing a leak. That was going to be my next step!

The little idle adjustment screw above the TB inlet has a drilled passage all the way to the gasket at the back. There's a machined slot it intersects that may be uncovered in some cases and bleed air. Put some RTV in the end of the slot and put the throttle body back on and it solves it.

if you're really keen on working out if the rad protector jazz will block airflow (or how much, more the case) you can just measure one of the holes and calculate the area.
Then count how many holes there are for a set area (like 10cm^2 or something)

total area - hole area = blocked area

then you can calc how much of a % that is on the total.

Congrats again on your class win, Jimmy! It was a pleasure watching you drive my car and give me pointers and set-up advice, I learned so much. You are definitely on heck of a wheel-man. And no, I'm not mad you beat me in my own car...every...single....race...

Folks have really been liking the 949 clutch lately.

When my FM1 started slipping I went with the ACT XTSS. Not as light as stock (or FM1), but still easily drivable.

I want to make a hero number on the dyno but then dial it back down around 300hp where you are dleavitt I think.

No hero pulls here, so can't comment on how well the XTSS would hold up. 300whp is plenty for me. :party:

My XTSS held 330ish until I lost the transmission.
