And do you run a maf screen?

inside is butter smooth i took pics before i did the epoxy work to smoth top and bottom sections, I run a outboard MAF the delphi 85mm unit so thats why its gutted inside of the TB. If youre reffering to the measuring tape pic thats a junkyard ln3-series one throttlebody i was using that as a comparison to the size of the 99 l36 TB i used

How is the transition from the TB to Adapter? to UIM Did you make them all the same diamter to the open plenum?
Pics of that would probably help people out and make this mod more realistic.
