allright, i know someone makes it cause i ve seen the dopy things on feature cars in the magazines. im talking about the throttle body adapter that bolts to a standard holley bolt patern manifold and then turns 90* to allow you to use a throttle body off an ls1 or something similar. anyone know? got a link? ive looked all over the net and turned up nothing :hammer:

Haven't seen one, but it seems like in order to really fit under a hood they'd need to have a sharper bend than would be preferred?

Seems to me (admittedly, I'm still an idiot) that it'd be better to have an adapter that mounted the TB in line with the manifold, with provisions for a stock air filter above it.

Looks like that may be a Procharger piece - might be worth looking into?
