Look on migweb.
You need the r1 low pressure pump and then go to a standalone ignition system. On a redtop, they go to h+h ignition.
Everyone wants tb's it just gets put in the too hard basket.

did you find the mig thread?

also http://extrudabody.com/TechInfo/what_you_need.html#4 less than $2000, that ain't too bad but if you think about it, you could probably turbo for that much (budget homebuilt) and get much bigger gains and probably get better fuel economy too

and also if you're going ITBs, you might have vacuum issues (no brake booster)

I reckon a screamer pipe is comparable to ITBs as well lol
