Kreb Cool car. Yes factory driveby wire. I haven't tried cutting up the manifold but hey I built a lot of plastic models as a kid and that was before pc-7 and all these othe epoxys. Your right about the manifold height. I took the MAP sensor off the to of mine and then I made a spigot that bolted on in place of the throttle body and used 4" radiator hose to move the throttle body across the motor to the exhaust side and turned the throttle body upside down and mounted it there. I don't think it hurt the throttle response but then I never ran it in stock form. Check with Jerry Weigt for flywheels. I don't think megasquirt or anybody but the factory can handle the variable exhaust cam? Thats one of the reasons the torque curve is so flat.
