for 1450 you would think the inlet would look a little nicer.

Yeah it could look a little better, but the TB is part of why it's so expensive.
The TB it's self is about $600 and the fenderwell cold air tube is a little over $300.
And even if it doesn't look that great the hp gains it gets are worth the looks. If I get it I plan to clean up the edges and try to make it look a little better.

Do you think there will be any idle or part throttle issues with such a big blade (cfm) throttle body?

From what i have seen there are a some people that like it and some that don't, it's sort of on or off throttle and not too much in the middle.

That is true.  Even with a progressive throttle a small percentage of opening would allow in a lot of air.  Maybe something like this could work.

Woohoo! Top Fuel like traffic light leaves unintentionally!

I think I can see how the lower rpm is affected and the higher rpm is improved.

This Priess priorities are massive rear tire destruction first then looks....kinda catch-22 thought there.
