Question regarding this setup: does the FABM S-bolt work with the
factory throttle hat? The reason I ask, it seems that a decent
gain could be made by getting rid of the kludgy spacing plate
that comes with the stock setup; it looks from the pictures
(that I saved from the RPM site, thank goodness) that the spacing
bracket covers a good 5-10% of the throttle bore area. It would
seem that your setup, plus an S-bolt on the stock hat, would
make for some better breathing all around without having to
go crazy with a port n' polish.
Any comments?
Have fun,
