Is this for a pull truck? The predator carbs are very picky about air temp, etc.
You will probably have to fabricate a custom mount to use a TPS.

It's not for a pull truck just a mud toy . I had a Holley on it but it doesn't do well after 15 degrees of angle

I hope so this thing is becoming a pain to fab stuff for gotta fab this gotta fab that . Not fun when there's almost no following for this product don't get me wrong Im more then impressed with it it just sucks that there's only a small handful of people that have anything to do production of parts for these things .

Yeah, they were popular in the late 80's, early 90's. A friend of mine had a pair on a 55 Chevy with a 871 blown 502 in it. I was tuning a pair of them in. It was late afternoon and as the sun went down and the temp dropped, I had to keep messing with the mixture to keep it running right.
We finally gave up and went with 2 750cfm Holley's and once I got them happy, never had to mess with it again.
You may have better luck on a non supercharged application that doesn't have a .800 lift roller cam in it.
