Yes, please elaborate on the throttle body bypass mod... what is it, and the benefits please?

Here's a link about it. Nothing to really be taken serious. But it does have small benefits that really can't be measured. I believe the plenum I had on my 350 required this. But I can't really recall.

DIY: TB Coolant Delete

Intake manifold / throttle bodies

Got the backs done... piece of cake. The bolts going through the front shock is just not coming off with conventional hand tools. No amount of Liquid Wrench, torch, mallet and big-a** pipe is breaking it loose. Gonna have to go to a garage with my tail between my legs tomorrow. Should be interesting riding with the a** dropped and front at normal height.

Impact wrench, FTW!

Sorry to hear about the defeat, but you accomplished so much otherwise!

Can't wait to see pics of the progress after you get the front finished!

I had to use a two foot breaker bar. Just make sure you use a 6 point socket also.
