very nice indy
I just did mine yesterday and I did a tune up while I had it all taken apart and my T.B. was a whole lot dirtier than yours...The butterfly was completely black but now it is very shiny and it runs a whole lot smoother...Indy, did you do the coolant bypass mod???I don't know if it did anything because I also installed denso iridium plugs and my car has never been faster..I like the fact that my T.B. is running cooler now..Good job btw..
