just glad they offer a steel set that will hold up. By the way, you
guys are really crankin' out some quality TBs. If I hadn't already
took mine to a machine shop long ago, I'd have to have one. Mine works
great, but the butterflies and shaft are no match for the R&D setup.

Thanks ... the new shaft & blade really makes it a nice assembly. I'm getting
more pictures of the TBIs up as the days go on (and I can work with this new
Kodak DC265 I just got... a little different from the DC120 I used to use.)
Here's a few links..
For a picture of the new, precision CNC machined stainless shaft and blades
go to:

For a close up pic of the new CNC profiled throttle bore ("stage 1"), go:

and of course, a close up picture of the stock bore to compare ...

and a side by side from the top, note the way the new blades are mounted

As you can see there's quite a difference. We really don't open the bores up
that much larger than stock, just enough to create our own intake bore
centerline to run off of instead of the factory's.
have fun :)
