If i wasn't working 12hr days already and had a set of throttlebodies to work with i'd do it myself. Maybe in spring once tax return, i mean accesport gets here. Can't see why GTM couldn't do this for a couple hundred. It really matters what size hole is in the plastic manifold because sticking an 80mm throttlebody on a 76mm hole isn't going to do jack.
Beyond basic bolt-ons I think adding power N/A is no longer cost effective.

I know this is obviously a much more complicated system, but I remember paying $400 shipped for a very nicely done Accufab 72mm throttle body AND intake plenum for my Mustang. My cat-back was only $350 + 25 shipping, too!
