I guess you could say that I'm not one to follow the masses specially using silicone and quarters.

Yes, chances are low that the quaters would come loose and go down and lodge in the throtle body's butterfly and leave you with a hung throtle but I don't want to risk my life on that.

Besides a few weeks ago I was in a car show and won 1st place in the Special Interest Class. Do you think that the 50 cent mod would look good in a car show or my MOCAL?
Your install looks great and makes perfect sense for a show car. It definitely looks better than a chopped up hose with quarters, tape, electrical knockouts or whatever glued onto it. I was just curious if there was some engineering/performance aspect that I was missing. Thank you for taking the time to explain.
