OK, next item, throttle bodies.  What are people using, is there something 
really neat from some model car in the junk yards?

Almost anything works with about a three inch hole or larger.
Throttle bodies using Tracy's fuel injection are merely simple
butterfly valves. No throttle position sensor needed.
No mass air flow sensors needed either.

Chuck Dunlap machined his own.

If it is too small there will be a pressure drop across it at
WOT with a consequent loss of power.

I just uploaded Tracy's mag article on this subject with his permission to the 
ACRE NL web site under "Intakes". So if you have not looked at the web site
recently take another gander.
