When drilling this out should i remove the manifold to do so? just wondering how much metal shavings will be in there,i was reading the directions saying it needs removed to avoid that but i dont see much getting in there if any at all given the angle,anybody do this with it on?

No, you just drill and tap, some uses grease with the drill, some goes from small drill to the correct size of the drill, some does it with the engine running, etc. I just drill with the correct size of drill and tapped, the shavings falls by themselves, and at the end I vaccummed the hole and thats it.
good luck
good luck
i was kind of thinking the shavings wouldn't be a problem since the angle is so downward,i can understand if it was going it the top on a flat or something hahah thanks again

What do you mean by going to far? are you meaning the threads dont need tapped all the way through until i get to the end of the hole? here is what my plan was as far as drilling the hole, the fitting says its a 3/8 NPT fitting so i was going to get a drill bit of that size and drill out the hole until it is all the way through the metal where im drilling then i was going to get a tap and tap it to that size all the way through and thread it in, is this correct? i never have tapped anything before hahahah

I got my pyro in and all hooked up everything went great thanks to all of the help from you guys tapping and all was a success, my temp stays pretty low to, the highest i have seen it is 800 at wide open throttle, its nice to see that temp now because i can feather my throttle and keep it where i choose most of the time.
