Did you see John watkins TB project at
http://www.intenseperformance.com/fun/Throttle_Body/throttle_body.html ? I
guess the main reason the traditional butterfly valve arrangement is still
with us is it's reliable and cheap.

I kind of laughed but someone has proved that this works on the 4.7 engine.
They used a 5.9 TB, the 5.2 TB, and a 8.0 TB. Now I really don't know how
true this is.

Yah, compared to the Z-tube, the TB is just a little tiny thing.

        What happen if you applied a V-10 Throttle Body with the Z-Tube?

I'm going to give it a few days for the chip to re-learn the new air-flow.
Right now there is a little hesitation, or delay, when you jump on it.
Traffic was crazy today anyway. You can really hear it suck - whoooOOMP!

Just a little closer to the front on the filter but it looks nice. How did
it feel after installing it?

Intense Performance Z-Tube. I ordered it Tuesday, he shipped it Wednesday,
I received it Friday (from Washington state to Miami), and I put it on.
Well designed and well made. Came with a bracket to relocate the cruise
controller, but I didn't need it or use it. Pictures at
http://personal.bellsouth.net/~rparenti/dakota.htm

I'm thinking about pulling the rubbber air dam next to the radiator and
putting in a shield next the hot engine/radiator air, letting cooler air
straight into the filter.
