Welcome to the club, Ragtop! Thanks for the nice words. We decided to do a direct front feed air bridge instead of the larger elliptical, side twisting set up. To accomplish that we need to go the standard round TB for space purposes. The engine will be much cleaner looking in my opinion.

At the power levels I think VMS will get my car to, the loss of some hp/tq shouldn't be that big of a deal. Plus, without a stand along EMS that has true traction and slip control, I suspect the I'll have traction issues with what the smaller round TB will provide. Only time will tell.
Do you own/plan on owning a Cobra? If so, would love to hear about it.

p.s. are you on the Corvette forums at all? Your user name seems familiar.
