I’m guessing that given the description of it being ‘short travel’ it is less travel than the original. Mangoletsi seems for good reasons to have a lot of fans here, nonetheless I am no fan of a digital throttle, with little travel from 0 to 1, like in my 2+2… So is the travel ok for you in your con...

Hallo,
SNG offers a short travel Mangoletsi kit for 3.8 RHD etypes.

An original nicely refurbed 3.8 engine replaced a broken and not to spec 4.2. Obviously, the 4.2 manifolds won‘t fit and I am in need of an inlet solution. I am open to any...
