I'm as full of wind and hot air as a bag of farts so I'll start this post off with a little story...
The night I got my first bigblock in '01, I raced a buddy of mine on his nitrous single speed ('98 model). He whipped me. I was so damn disappointed and he was telling me how bigblocks sucked and mine must have something wrong, blah blah blah. The reality was I had barely gotten into the secondaries. That Edelbrock #1911 along with the HUGE amount of throttle throw fooled me. Once I found out you had to come way up and then way around on the throttle to get the damn secondaries wide open, it was another story. Bye bye smallblock, hee hee!
Today, I can always tell when one of my Boss buddies wants to get it on. You see him almost come out of his seat and twist that right hand way up and over the throttle to get a handful. Kinda funny. The other night, I was introduced to a fix for that and now a handful of local Bosses only have to twist a smaller percentage of what the stock throw is.
Summit Boss Hoss in Marco Island is selling an aftermarket, bolt-on throttle assembly perfect for the BH. The contraption is nothing more than a larger diameter wheel inside the chrome housing. The effect is what they call 1/4 turn or 25% of the radious. Really slick. You can go from idle to WOT with that quarter turn rather than the huge travel on your stock assembly. Takes about 10 minutes to install. The only wrinkle is the cheap rubber grip that comes with it but you just peel (or cut) that one off and buy a nice custom push-on from Arlen Ness or Custom Chrome, etc.
I'm didn't hear the price or availability but anyone wanting one should call Mike or Dave at Summit Boss Hoss and check it out.
