    I'm going to make one but if it turns out to be a group A kinda single plenum job I think I'll just run one big throttle body, the twins seems massive overkill to me unless you are running 600 hp and hooning around Bathurst at 8000rpm. I don't think it would be much fun on the street having full power at half pedal travel either

    Thats why you have the second progressively open. The Group A twin throttles runs with the second throttle at something like 30% of the main throttle expect at WOT.
