Car runs good, all that carbon built up was definitely felt on my gas pedal.

I'm still very sore in my neck and head, but that will pass I'm sure.
I did seafoam my car, which makes all that build-up even worse :P
To really clean the TB you just gotta take it off, but boy was that stocker a pain to get off at first, this new one will go on much easier because I didn't reconnect one of the bolts that helped hold on some stupid CA emissions thing.
You can kind of see it if you look right near where the MAF sensor connector should go.

im just stopping by for a sec before i crash for the night, had a GREAT day 
it was sunny outside, i washed the monte & the talon, got the rear hatch open on the talon & found 16 gallons of water in the spare tire well... at least no rot haha...
but the big news for the day was that my vo-tech teacher decided to do some spring cleaning for the class's stuff, apparently the local chevy dealership gave us a bunch of NOS goodwrench and AC delco parts as a donation about 6 years ago for "GM vehicles dating from about 1990-2002 ish" according to my teacher. she told me to pretty much take whatever, so now i have a BUNCH of boxes of delco and goodwrench parts to sort through, hopefully some for the monte extra power window motor, an A/C compressor, remote key thingies, brake rotors & shoes, belts, gasket kits, even delco windsheild wiper blades 
i have a TON of stuff i gotta bring home
