The options to get them are really that one.. accufab single blade and the new billetflow one... They complain that the accufab makes the throttle stick... and they all are goin nuts over the billitflow one that's coming out. I am keeping with my stock one, well it's ported with my blower. the after market tb's for these cars are just to much $$ imo..

Interesting, yeah i have checked out the billetflow website but it doesent seem like much progression has been made with theirs. You have any ideas of somethings i could do, to gain some serious HP? Not necessarly cheap, but just ideas. Also im looking at getting a pulley, what do you think is the best kind and that will add the most?

What kind of horsepower are you looking for? 400-500, 500+ 600+???

btw... Doug has started taking preorders to have it made. These cars love a ported blower and nitrous combo btw... :-)

Well, thats pushing it with the Eaton. Here is a little list you can do to get anywhere from 490-520 rwhp...

Stage IV Eaton Port
Boost-a-Pump
Heat Exchanger
60lb injectors

Plus, you may want to start lookin at some suspension upgrades to go along with that. If you've got in the boost at all in 1st gear much... you've probably experienced wheel hop. If it does, GET OUT OF THE THROTTLE. Very important that you do so unless you want parts and pieces scattered everywhere. Over on svtperformance, there is a guy named CobraBob and he has a link to what is called the "Red Pill". Its all about upgrading your IRS. Check that out cuz its important to take care of that as you add more and more horsepower.

yeah i know exactly what yo uare talking about, i have had some bad wheel hop, just to much power huh. Would it also help to get some stickier tires in the back? Yeah i will look into that list, sounds like some important stuff to get. I dont want to see piecs on the ground.

Here is the link to the red pill.... lots of great info in here. Like I said, if it hops, just back out of it... dont try to power thru it. Sticky tires do help too tho.
