[Supras] Some new pictures of what is going on

[Dave Henry]

>From my experience, going any larger than ~90mm TB isn't really beneficial
anyway.  If you are 5-speed (pretty sure you are) the throttle gets
extremely touchy and you are constantly blipping the throttle as you drive
(even tho you aren't trying to).  With a auto it's not quite as noticable,
but the 5-speed lurches forward and back as any little foot movement makes a
big difference in accel or decel.  If you already had the 105mm, you could
probably bore out the center of the TB flange to make it work?

fit.

flange interferes with the throttle plate)
> 2.  Can't run an aftermarket rail with the alt relocation bracket (front
fitting hits the factory alt bracket)

RIGHT ones I forgot to order.

> I hope nobody construes this as a complaint against Ron, because it is NOT
intended to be,  The manifold is an absolute work of art (I've got his very
first one).  I'm just trying to do things with it that he didn't originally
design it to do.  The manifold is 100% fantastic.

LOL.

a 2J.  Much rather see what I can do with my truck motor however.  Not many
people have REALLY tried to see what the 7M is capable of.  I hope to find
out.
