Hey guys. I'm progressing on my truck and I'm almost ready to start tuning. Im going to be drivable in a couple weeks, but I'm 100% sure the intake and spidee are going to be a problem.
I've looked around and i cant really find a throttle body replacement that will do what i want, so i think I'm going to design and cut one out on the cnc. (I'm a tooling engineer btw, i design and machine for a living)
I need some help with design intent and refinement from you guys. My current design goals.
I'll post a rough cad model in the next few days.

- IAT
- Map
- MAF
- IAC

- Cruise control?
- Fit old school round airfilter on top of engine
