Pros and Cons.....

Pros: On the initial test drive my "seat of the pants" dyno yielded considerable gains. 1st gear gets more low-end power, 2nd and 3rd's top-end are in love with me now.

Cons: Idle dropped from 850 to 750....ehhhh.....and my SG2 shows a TPS reading of 22 (should be 20). I took the buffer over the butterfly, so i may have knocked something out of alignment. Its not DIRE but not something I want permanent either. but the gains are noticeable. I'm no HP expert (as many of you know) but I'd have to say AT THE MOST is maybe 5 hp.

For the reasons associated with the risk in maybe screwing something up, I opted out of doing a write-up. I'm sure if anyone wants to do this later on, its pretty simple, but its just "iffy" right now until I can bump up my idle...

Note: the risk in doing this IMO is not great enough unless you are going "all out" I should say such as CAI, efans, UDP, exhaust and maybe turbo. doing this to a stock engine probably wont be worth it.
Get a programmer and and you can fix your idle issue!

You want to do me one in trade for some shackles maybe??
