I needed to adjust the opening to the tunnel ram for a larger throttle body. It took a couple of tries, and theories, but I got the manifold locked down, and trammed to .0005-.001 over 18" with the DTI. I am not machinist by any means, but being able to do it with the machine, to me is better than a jig saw. Best part I didn't screw anything up, cleaning everything after was a pain. The throttle brackets had to be profiled for the linkage, and I still have my 1/2" clearance to the hood. That took most of the day, there are only a few shops with machines, and it's a crap shoot when you would get it back.....
