I have a Skunk 2 manifold and in order to make the factory strut bar fit I had to move the throttle cable bracket down to the second support hole and I was reving it and it pulled the second support and a chunk off throttle body, so now there is a whole on the side.

Glad to hear it wasn't because of the JG t/b itself.

Skunk2 intake manifold is basically an ITR intake manifold. I see no reason why the ITR bar wouldn't fit.

Also why'd you swap out your ITR intake manifold for a Skunk2 unit? Did you find any gains?

I'm running one also but it's the 68~66mm one and it's awesome Very nice T-Body... ...I also used to have the spoon 70~62mm T-Body and the Erick's one is like Night and Day..

BTW I don't think that Erick's Racing makes the 70~68mm or th 68~66mm T-bodys andy more...

I know this is the ITR forum but here's my Skunk2 GSR TB cable solution. I had to move the TB cable down more because my original ghetto adapter didn't allow enough clearance for the Okuyama bar.

Thats why you replace the cable pulley and use an itr cable and bracket
