Yeah. I saw that article too. I called Barry Grant Fuel Systems and
asked about throttle body mods. The person I talked to acted as if
they didn't evn know what a throttle body WAS. Then they promptly
told me they don't do such work. I was confused. Maybe I was just
speaking to the wrong person. Perhaps someone could give it another
try.

Michael, in the Jan issue of "Chrysler Power", there is an article about a
nitrous install. While not giving much info on the TBI, they did have some
sort of work done to it by Berry Grant (yes, the carb guy). You might want
to check them out (706)-864-8544. They did say that they went from 1.96" to
2.09" butterflies, and increased airflow from 500CFM to 715CFM (with all
the mods to the TBI). Good luck. Glen.
