Trying to plead the points you've made, and ones I've also made, is like spitting in the wind. Even proposing pressure measurements using a manometer, temperature measurements using a probe, accelerometer measurements, were given a "Thumbs down." Dare I say that the Spanish Inquisitors were more flexible in their attitudes? I don't know what to do. I'm not going to plunk down $100-$150 for some before/after dyno runs just to make them happy -- especially when I know that the real results are experienced directly on-the-road. I could use AutoSpeed's help here. If they (or you) were to duplicate what I have done, then, maybe, they wouldn't flame me every time I propose something new.
