After listening to some podcast I can see where guys have problems with distribution.
Run a RJC Power Plate. :chin:

Amen!  It continues to amaze me how people will continue to disbelieve scientific results and performance and rely upon someone's eyes to say it cannot work.  I often wonder how mankind has evolved to the current state.

On the other hand, I look around me and wonder how long it will be until civilization is in a total melt down so I guess things balance out in the end LOL

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Not sure why it would be hard on it. The first second it sputters I shut it off.

I do the same thing, however I change a lot of pumps. If you practice this procedure, my problem must be from these vehicles being stored w/o being run. Most have set for years. I changed 2 H-body pumps just getting this stuff started for sale.
Thanks for the link.

you ain't gonna see any increase with a high dollar IC.
ran a new motor at the track for a friend.. Chinese stock location, PP and Alky with the TT chip on default. 9.95 @ 135+ in a 3740# tank. Made one run then boxed it up to go to Australia . Don't think the intercooler is doin much like ya said.

Dan, I spend most of my time pondering how the world got so screwed up that I don't spend much time worrying about cars to work on.  My son keeps trying to pile them on me, tho LOL

I think the internet has created so many self promoting gurus that the car business is going down the drain as well.  There is no shortage of magic new parts that you just gotta buy for your 11 second car....

I'm amazed at the people contacting me telling me the car sputters at WOT...and then when I ask...they haven't changed the pump in 10-12 years. I got a guy at work who's the original owner...and hasn't changed the pump. I swap the pump in my car once a year. I look at it as cheap insurance against a set of head gaskets. You have to be all over the fuel system on these cars like shit on a blanket or you're gonna be swapping head gaskets.
