Yes, you may have to readjust the TV cable. Check Jon's site for the
instructions on how to do that.

Subject: DML: F&B Billet v6 tb received and INSTALLED

Well, I forgot to post it friday night because I got home late, but I got
the Billet TB Friday.

I came home and it was sitting on the doorstep so I installed it.

Install went smooth and well, and boy does the TB look sweet! I now see
what Bernd was talking about the IAC motor location a very smart design. I
couldn't figure out what that extra hole on top of the TB Was until Bernd's
words kinda ringed in my head

As for a road test, the computer is still compensating. When I first
started it back up with a computer reset, it ran nice at idle, but if you
rev it up and let the RPMs fall, there was a TON of popping thru the
exhaust. It never did that before....

The road tests are very weird. at first it just seemed to bog everywhere.
I only have a total of 23 miles since the rest and most of it was just
cruising. I DID get to race a honda with it. Spanked the hell out of him
off the line, but here's also another unusual... without manually shifting
the auto, it hit the 1st gear rev limitor HARD every time off the line. I
had to let off the gas for it to shift. should I move my TV cable back?

Overall thoughts on the TB, I like it...

PS as soon as I figure out how to use the new Digi cam, I'll post pics up on
my page.
