 Heh heh heh! Yep, I found it on e-bay a while back and couldn't
resist. :-)

>Hows it perform ? does it sit right on the M1 ?

   I'm not sure about the performance yet; its still not completely hooked
up yet. One thing I noticed though is that the air flowing through the
IAC cavity makes one heck of a sucking sound! That should be worth a
few points for intimidation factor right there... ;-)

  Yep, it sits on the M1/MPI, but it needs a spacer in order for the
throttle linkage to clear the fuel rail. The air hat also needs a spacer
in order to clear the throttle linkage, and there are a few other details
that need custom fabrication/solutions and such. :-P

> Are you going to write the install up ?

  Yep, absolutely. In fact, I'm planning to offer a kit for it as
well. I've got some preliminary designs in to the machine shop for the
brackets and such; I'm hoping to get the prototype pieces tomorrow.
Once I get the bugs worked out, I'll put together a kit.
