Looks sexy. I wonder what they suggest for a solution on the drive by wire cars like ours. Probably could modify the factory throttle body to drive something like that. Would be interested to see if someone has actually done this and the results.

Thats why I was asking wondering if anybody ran one if the did a cable pedal setup. Each one of the cylinders would have its own 50mm throttle body on it.

Wondering if say making a mounting plate for the drive side of a throttle body and mount it to the center wheel from the body side to try and hide it.

The E38 ECM in the 5th gen Camaro doesn't work with a cable throttle body, so you've got to find a way to incorporate a drive by wire throttle body into actuating the throttle bodies.

They state it can be ran with one and they include a list of sensors to use for it but they don't say weather they have one that is able to be hooked up fly by wire or need to modify a stock throttle body by using just the motor side of it to work this. With some work I'm sure it could be done for fly by wire

Well, it's easy enough to run the car in speed density and ditch the MAF. You still need a single IAT mounted up somewhere, but that wouldn't be too hard.

It could definitely be done, but the drive by wire throttle body is the most complex part. Guys do occasionally take them apart and customize them to run non-standard throttles. It's a lot of trick, custom work, but it is do-able. In this case, the juice ain't worth the squeeze, ITBs look amazing, and can make pretty good power, but we've got plenty of intake manifolds that really work just as well.

Yeah for the price it not really worth it. I was just wanting to maybe do something different later down the line. Might buy one and get a throttle body and do some work to it and get it ready. Weight out the time and money first lol

Maybe on an old school gasser or something similar but to my eye would look totally out of place on modern muscle.

This is your best bet. Those stacks look really cool, but a lot of custom fab and electrical/ecm modifications would have to be done to make it work, and extra money.
