I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I thought it might help a couple people. Good for the archives if nothing else. Running the skunk 2 intake manifold, you will soon hear a vibration noise coming through the firwall. The IAC sits only a few mm away from the brake prop valve in the EG chassis.
Investigating further quickly showed that the lower mounting bolt was what was actually hitting, so I decided to order a lower profile bolt. I ordered an allen "Socket Screw Cap" from McMasterCar. (actually, I ordered 10, it only comes in packs of ten) It was 4.90 for a pack of 10 grade 10.9 black oxide bolts, plus 4 bucks to ship (their close to me though)

The http://www.mcmaster.com item number is: 91239A444

So far, it has solved the contact, which makes me happy.

I had to jack on the engine (tranny case is best) to raise it slighty to be able to pull the bottom bolt out since the prop valve holds it in. You may have to remove the top mounting bolt first, then the bottom one so you have some wiggle room.
I have 9 extra bolts, but I'm not sure I have the time to ship em out to people with school and all. Let me know if this is helpful to anyone!
