Ok....since we're on the subject of TB's and Manifolds (again),

Has anyone noticed that when the stock (and modified) TB's are on the intake
manifold (and looking down the barrels at WOT), the center of both barrels
have a manifold obstruction to flow around. To put it in easy to understand
terms: You open the blades all the way open and look through them into the
manifold.

I know port-matching helps out for power gains (more on some than others)
but has anyone tried to grind the center of the plenum to better fit the TB?
