Well, I decided to do a bit of cleaning on the throttle body and upper intake yesterday. I was able to clean out all of the carbon build up from the throttle body and i got some cleaned from the upper intake before I ran out of cleaner. I also decided to work on the throttle body. Its very small but the screws that hold the throttle plate to the throttle pin has those screws that stick out quite a bit. I got to thinking... I wonder how much that make the incoming air turbulant which would hinder high flow and compression of air. It may be next to nothing at all but i went ahead and shaved off the excess... heres the pics of after i finished the work and mod...

Everything taken off...


Upper intake needs a lot more work!

Okay, ill get a list of supplies together and let ya know! I can do all of that! Ive got most of that on my truck!

Yeah it would! No doubt! What about in the bed? For example, im gonna eventually do under the bed rails so it shines down in the bed.

well with neon yes it would. With the LED kits it will be fine. The high impact tubes can survive hard hits and I attach them in a lot of spots so they are braced a ton!

I was actually taking about in the bed though. Like inside the bed how on the rails it hans over on the inside, if you put lights in there it will put a glow down on the bed itself. So you will have full underglow on the truck and on top of that everything else that includes engine, grill, interior, and bed glow. And when you mean headlight lights do you mean strobe systems with red strobes?

oh okay, gotcha. ill look for those, im pretty sure streetglow mades those. Did you just want those or both those and strobes? might be hard to do both but its possible.
