Eric,

Just thought I'd let you know that I told Todd ("The Judge") that I will compile all 
of the responses that I get about the throttle body for the NA I-5 and forward them to 
him.  If you like I can put your name on a copy as well.  Any others that are 
interested, please let me know as well.

I think that there should be _some_ gains to be had.  I was looking at a spare TB the 
other day and it looked like that there was either room to enlarge one of the ports 
inside, or even to bore the whole thing out and have just one large butterfly valve.  
Might make it a little hard to control at low RPM's however.  Any comments anybody?

Thanks,

Gary
