Swapping on an Airgap intake

Why don't you like the Lokar linkage?

See how it is only bolted to one stud? Because of this you can't run a real strong return spring since it will constantly get pulled out of alignment. This caused me a lot of trouble with getting a decent idle/full throttle travel. I like the kick down cable, and the throttle cable was fine too. But their mounting solution needs a lot of work.
