Another thing I just thought about is if you do a Efan conversion it will make a difference in the way the engine responds to part throttle because its not pulling the extra load. I used the HHR fan and a adjustable controller. I have had no issues at all with cooling and im running a 180 thermostat. The Efan doesn't really give you anymore power or torque but it does allow the engine to react quicker to part or full throttle. If I were you I would do the fastman TB and Efan conversion and im almost certain you will be pleased with the improvement it makes.

Thanks for the complement on the wheels. The write up for the adjustment of the TPS includes opening up the holes where you mount the sensor and use a meter to pivot the sensor to fine tune the voltage reading. All the details are in the write up. I agree that all the TB does is provide air for the engine but with all the mods you have done the PCM will dump more fuel into the engine and without the right size TB the engine will not be able to adjust the air/fuel mixture to provide the desired level for maximum performance. The EGR valve is one thing I wish I could delete all together. I installed headers and bought the headers for a 96 because they don't have the connection on the passenger side header. I plugged off the tube going to the header and just left the electrical connector attached to the EGR valve. I plan to do the kegger mod later along with the Harland Sharpe 1.7 RR's. When I do the kegger mod im going to buy another factory intake for a 96+ so I can delete the EGR valve completely. Once I do that I need to figure out what to do with the electrical connector so the PCM thinks it is still connected.
