Darren,
   I installed the XP 360 with Composite Induction on my 8A. Van's IO 360
THROTTLE/MIX kit ( $95.00) worked well to mount the Mixture hardware but was
useless for the Throttle.

   In order to mount the Throttle Cable I constructed a mounting platform
attaching same to the bottom of the composite Sump using the 4 threaded
holes provided by Superior. The platform spans the bottom of the sump
running from right to left and is attached to the sump with 4 safety wired
bolts.

   I attached a cable termination fitting at the rear of the platform in a
position that would provide proper clearance from the sump and exhaust as
well as providing proper function of the Throttle hardware. Determining the
proper positioning for the termination fitting took several iterations but
the end result is , IMHO , quite functional.

   The Throttle cable runs aft  from the termination fitting ,under the
Composite Sump,and then angles up to penetrate the firewall with the Mixture
and Prop cables through a common penetration fitting.

   Good luck,
  Dick Jordan

Darren,

If you haven't yet purchased the Superior you might wish to consider the 
AeroSport Power IO-360-M2 (180hp). I just installed Van's IO throttle & 
mixture bracket kit with perfect fit to their aluminum sump.

Any history of heat muff(s) placed over (enclosing)  joints in Vetterman 
exhausts?
Any detectable CO in the cockpit?
