does anybody have a picture of the restrictor plate is in the TB? and an idea how to remove it

I had pics in the old ikon board, but they are long since lost. It's not hard to remove though, on my 2000 I just cut it off using a dremel.

You can also buy a replacement blade that never had the restrictor from this site.

I can't believe it! I did my intake last week and spent alot of time cleaning the throttle body. It was really nasty.

Now I fond out that the goofy dome shaped piece I cleaned was a restirctor plate and could have been removed for better performance.

UGGG, I feel like a real dummy!
