Doc - sorry but I don't have the 4bbl TB (yet). I do understand that
there are a few issues with this mod tho. First, I understand that the
connectors don't exactly match up and some fabrication is required for
the TPS connector. Also I understand that to provide the correct
off-idle acceleration enrichment, a custom computer program is necessary
since the 4bbl TB flows so much more air when the throttle blades are
opened rapidly. Think of it as an increased "accelerator pump shot" to
use carb terminology. One could probably get around the custom
programming (costly) by designing another apparatus to constantly
monitor changes in TPS (deltaTPS) and provide more fuel under larger
positive deltaTPS conditions. A simple 9th injector that is driven by a
PIC microcontroller for example would work well and be relatively cheap.

Hope I didn't discourage you - if you decide to do the mod and have
problems... get back w/me and I'll try to help.

Latr,

Shane
