Oh, c'mon... admit it... stirring it up is half the fun. ;^) I haven't heard from Don so I guess he must be working out of country right now. My intent in the offer was to clear up which exhaust system offered the best increase in hp. I would be willing to swap exhaust to determine this. I'm not willing to pull off the VGAS to test carburetion though. Too much trouble for too predictable a result. I've seen Don's system and it is admittedly a nice piece of work. I just don't think it offers the increase in hp that the UFO does. Only one way to find out though. And since I gained 23 hp with just the exhaust and a stg 7 and only an additional 2 w/ the VGAS, I'm thinking the exhaust played a larger than average part in the gains. Using the Hindle 4-1, the VGAS usually contributes bigger numbers to the mix. I only wish I knew more about power development than I do.
