Seems like the SSV would be the easiest to modify to accept a new TB. You could just remove the elbow that the TB mounts to, have a larger dia. one bent and the reweld it onto the manifold. Then all that would be left to do is to repolish it. Maybe a couple hundred bucks and you could do it with the SSV. Plus the cost of the TB and making it work of course.

The SSV is actually what made me think about it because you could prolly get Kinitix to send you a unfinished manifold un polished and without the elbow. Again this would more than likely only be good for FI after doing research. However it could be maybe be useful in a very selective event where speeds are maintained and extremely high direct airflow such as a vent can be established for the intake. Low end would be horrible though.

BTW, I have the SSV and I get more comments on it than any other piece on the car! Its awesome! If you plan on staying N/A, I would not get this manifold, but if you are planning on going F/I and want the looks, this is the piece for you.

i dont know where all the bad press for the ssv comes from.. i had a stock plenum and on the 1 mile straight on my road (country road) i could only muster 119 mph in that stretch. with the v+ plenum i got up to 128 on that strech. and with the ssv i have gotton to 132. so there are definate gains there. whether or not they show on a dyno (which i feel they are highly over rated except for tuning) i dont know. but real world performance its definatly there with the ssv. all of the passes i made are with the exact same mods except for the plenum (jwt popcharger and short throw shifter. thats it)
sorry for the hijack just wanted to share my thoughts and experiances with the ssv
