350evo used to use Proflow, now Proflow does it themselves. I didn't know Crawford had one though. And then there's always the Accufab 90mm TB used on one of the Speed Force Racing built TT engines...

ITB's are one of the few things that keep me from pulling the trigger on FI
I really wouldn't mind doing a full out built NA engine,
port heads
11.5:1 or even higher CR pistons
101 octane
nismo S1 or more aggressive cams
ferrea valves/springs
eagle rods
rev to 7500
with ITB's could put you somewhere in the 320-350whp range - no one really knows and not have the extra 80-100 lbs of FI at the nose of the car
The car would react faster than FI and each gear would last longer going to 7500 and the cams would make power up high, less shifting - even with 3.91 FD. Handling would be better, and it would sound wicked mean, but I know it isn't as exotic sounding as 400whp and higher.
still waiting for more options to become available.......

the rods and pistons on the new engine are slightly stronger
if you get forged rods and pistons and some good valve springs, i'm sure you could do it with no sweat and it'll handle it just fine
what's the deal with FI and reving that high though? I'm assuming it's drastically worse for the engine, but what about even on a built engine?
I know usualy people with FI don't have crazy cams unless it's a race car with race gas. That's an advantage over FI I think that NA has is it can rev like that and make power on regular pump gas

Patience is our key for ITB
That might just be my new sig!

hehe yeah I was just meaning the phrase "400whp and higher" not the actual exhaust/engine sounds those cars make
people always look at the numbers, and it's easy to ignore stuff like 100 lbs of weight in the front, gearing, reving really high etc. It's harder to quantify that stuff than 400 is more than 350

So, if I go ITB without a reflash I won't be taking full advantage of it? I plan on getting a limited flash in a few weeks and from what I understand it allows the TB to open 100% (AAM limited flash)
