Throttle Body Angle corrector??

Hey guys I know this probably the longest shot ever but I'm curious if there is a throttle body angle corrector for Icon 102mm TB's?? So I've got a BTR Trinity intake with an Icon 102mm TB and I also have a motion raceworks quick seal attachment with 3" weld flange for the throttle body but the thing is that I cant even get the adapter on because of the downward angle of the intake that basically crashes right into the water pump pulley. If there was such a thing to correct that angle then it's problem solved. I've tried looking on the interwebs but maybe I'm not wording it right?? IDK are they even a real thing or is that gonna be some kind of custom one off piece?? Thanks guys have fun.

I want to change the intake piping and be gone of those silicone couplers using the motion raceworks setup

Holley sells them for the newer LT1 motors but they are 95mm. Its a common issue with the LT motors so I'd focus my search there. They do add length to the intake (think spacer) but they get the surface perpendicular to the ground.

Adding length doesn't mean anything to me I've got a new front attachment for my throttle body that is a quick seal with a 3 inch weld flange

This stuff. The quick seal TB attachment with the weld flange, some pie cuts and a 45 bend to get it to where it needs to go. Then I'll put a bung in for my IAT sensor. I've got water/meth nozzles about 24 inches away from the TB so it can really blend in with the air

These ICT Billet 1/2" spacers are probably the answer for what I'm wanting to do
