You will need one bracket that goes on your intake to hold the *casing* i guess you would call it for you can move the throttle. you can make the bracket if need be or just get an adjustible one from Lokar
Yeah and I saw some brackets on Jegs, I'll look up this Lokar too.
I guess I just need a 4150 style bracket?

Dude, that is bad ***. How are you going to plumb the turbos with that....I thought you already had the cold side mocked up.
I'll just have to modify / re-do the tubing coming from hole in the fender well.
You use a "carb hat/bonnet" to attach it to the TB.
I've been having hood clearance issues at stock style TB/CAI since day one. So this
will be nice fix for that, look cool as hell, and I've wanting to do it forever.

yeah 4160/4150 style bracket should work good for what you have since that is a common Ford carb the 600cfm 4bbl(4160)

It comes with its own GM style TPS and IAC, they just aren't mounted to it yet.
Had to go spend $100 on the little freak'n plugs for them from local Chevy dealer[:@]

Yep those are LS1 coil packs[8D]

Did a little test fitting over lunch.
Looks like I'll need a spacer under the TB for throttle cable clearance around fuel rails

you have much more pressing matters to attend to before you consider a stand alone, like we have installed....

and no.. the AEM is one of the most expensive units available. I myself run the Megasquirt

You gotta pay to play .............

MegaJizz is a LOT cheaper, but I still say it's not as refined as the AEM and you get what you pay for.
Hell it wont even do SFI, but it is a very good and widely used system on all kinds of cars from Miatas to Mustangs

I got my AEM, including full professional installation with speed density MAP sensor and professionally dyno tuned for $1,600

Start adding professional installation and dyno tuning to cost of the MS and the price gap starts to narrow


Me and Adder like to duke it out over these two systems, LOL,........... ding ding Round 2 .......... LOL
