Re: Secondary Actuators, Upside down or Not
I prefer "enhanced" over "kludged".

Re: Secondary Actuators, Upside down or Not
thanks jerry, that sure makes alot of sense
those "little old ladies" so to speak did nice work IMHO and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. the factory engineers are generally smarter than I am (that's for sure) but since I was confused, I took them out I honestly haven't missed them. throttle response is just fine on a stroker LT5 without them. but also DON'T think you'll pick up power, I got about 8 ft lbs of average increase in mid range torque as marc told me, they don't hurt anything, and work just fine. and they are there for a reason. unless you more agressively open up the secondary ports, it's probably not worth the effort to take them out. but my philosophy is that "parts left out, don't break" I don't have to worry about linkages, vacuum lines, and doodads under the plenum and I was able to pass the parts on to folks that needed them for a bargain price.
