   Yep, I'm interested in this as well. I was going to ask
this when I saw the pics but I forgot. I milled mine completely
flat except for a little bit around the thread in the middle (to
hold the S bolt) and 4 "nubs" on the sides to hold the air cleaner
in place. I also beveled the openings to help the flow even more...

  Does the "Stage 2" throttle body have the fence too?

  I believe Frank has access to a flow bench, and maybe a couple
of other people too. Has anyone ever studied this?
