i am going to dyno test mine whenever i can get it on.. the damn thing is not easy to install at all, so i am just doing it wrong.... i think I may have to shorten my FIPK as well???

Chris, it looks simple doesn't it!

You do not have to shorten the FIPK. I had the FIPK when i installed mine and what you do have to do it push the plastic pipe further onto the flexible hoses

James did you ever get my PM?? my problem is that there is a hose attached to the underside of the TB and it attaches to the intake manifold, this hose is so short it wont let the TB pull out any further, and I cant get to this hose because so much is in the way, I am going to have to make an all day project out one day haha..

Yeah, I wrote back but I guess I didn't submit.

WHat I did with that hose, it I pulled it away from the manifold closer to where the TB was. The hose it on there for about 2" so you can slide it forward to install

T-body spacers don't do anything for the 4.0 due to the variable length runners inside the manifold. An extra inch under the t-body isn't anything on that engine.

Doesn't hardly do squat for the older versions either.
