Skunk 2 Intake Manifold H22

*those who have the skunk2 IM, or knows who has one*

just got the IM a couple days ago, and when i bolted up my throttle body, the back part of the throttle rotor rubs against the IM and causes it to get stuck. i know if i use a tb spacer, it'll solve it, but then installing the cai will be more of a hassle coz i have abs

its a jdm h22..but i may shave that part of the IM to accomodate the tb for better fitment

although i haven't started up the car yet, due to *minor details*, i will honestly say those who are thinking about the skunk2 IM for their H22s...think really hard. now i even hate how it fits in the accord engine bay. i've got no room behind it, the iat sensor is literally right next to my brake lines from the master cylinder, and i feel like the back of the IM is gonna hit the bracket holding the throtte cable. and like i posted in my members' thread, i had to cut up my AEM cai for better fitment. it looks great, looks aggressive, but these fitment issues bother me. i just hope that when i get the cb7 on the dyno, it'll show some respectable gains.

Is that at redline? My car hits 40 around 7000 rpm and I sometimes almost get to 50 mph takin it to 8k.

with the five speed tranny ~30-35 is the fastest you can go before hitting the rev limiter. top of secound is ~60... thirrd is 95... forth is somewhere around 120ish and fifth in our cars is something like 145 or where the neddle is hitting the "H" in "MPH".
I've watched alot of videos and read a bunch of posts on different forums that gave that info (in case you're wondering).
You could also look for a online gearing calculator to check how fast the car will go at a given RPM in a given gear.
