All their stuff is for fwd cars. Grand Am's, Sunfires and whatnot....doesn't apply to 3rd gen firebirds and cameros since the motors aren't too similar from what I've read.

Wow, they're still in business? Damn! Last I heard of them was '94 or so. They had a thing where they would bore out a throttle body for a hundred or so, and outfit it with a new throttle plate. The bummer was that you had to send in a throttle body as a core. But from the looks of the website, they got away from doing that.

How much could they even bore it to?

Heck with the aftermarket one discoded. I have got to get some more air in this darn intake. If they still do this it might be worth it, depending on the resulting mms. Send them a core...not a prob. Not like there is not a million and one 2.8s in the yards around here!

Anyone got any past experience info? TomP? If not I might just see what they say...
