It could be better and I'll take suggesttions but there is so little room to make a 90' turn coming out of the TB before you hit the rim of the engine bay. There was a small tab on that rim...I ground it off...needed that 1/2' !!
TB won't rotate any lower to miss the rim. So yes a little restricted.

@Blair, Good post! Good info…and a bit of a reality check for me since I thought we would GAIN more HP from those mods. Again, that is Mfr. promises vs. ACTUAL WHP. I understand.
Seems to me if the airflow is straightened out a bit it may help. Have you tried a 45 degree up to that TB? You ARE USING a 4" (or 102mm) tubing, right? It seems you may get more clearance by going across instead of over. Just an opinion - it may not work. That is where I am with that. Also, the honeycomb mod is SUPPOSED to straighten airflow which would allow the MAF better calculations. It is not a "sawtooth" looking linear chart and more straight line (see thread below for more clarification - it's long but enlightening).
Also, are you using the ENTIRE 3" x 5" area (where the snork used to be) as the "intake pipe" or it that air being further reduced?
Keep up the good posts, very educational!
