    Thanks for the reply, Yata, rep'd. I guess I'll find that writeup and do some more researching. I'm currently running a TDR air-to-air intercooler and from what I know, dual TB's would benefit me in the long run.

    From what I understand, one throttle body is partially open all the time while the other ("stock") is normally functional. Then as the "stock" one opens, the partially opened one opens more so.

    They're always popping up for sale. You can get a nice setup complete with fuel management for $1500 in new condition or an old Sebring version for half that price. It's usually considered an entry level FI because people usually step up to an FFS, MP62 or turbo afterward and then sell their nice M45 systems for a good price.

    So, I was calling around and though there were no m45's in new condition, I managed to snag a recently rebuilt m45 from track dog racing for 1600... hope this one doesn't fall through ((crosses fingers))

    I hear they're pretty cool people over there at tdr
