Don't take it personally.  Ask anyone here - I have a habit of jumping into

discussions like this one and trying to ground them in fact.



Hey - it's obvious that you're enthousiastic about your Kitty, and that

makes you alright in my book!

I'm just tryin' to keep ya honest.  If you've got facts to back up what

you're saying I'm all ears.  If you're only willing to claim that you know

what you know... well then you have to be prepared for some upstart like me

to call you on it from time to time, and ask for a better explanation.



I said what I think, and I laid out what why I think it, but you haven't

said where there was an error in my reasoning.  Lay it on me - I'm always

willing to listen...

But my claim is that there is no difference in velocity by the time the air

gets to the throttle body(s).  If that's true, then how is your 14 psi of

boost different from David's?  If it's not true, then please explain because

I don't get it.

Nah - I'm up in the cold northeast (near Baltimore).  And I go more for

don't-notice-me white than arrest-me red. :-) You can see my wheeled toys at

http://realbig.com/andy/toys.html .



Good luck on your speed run man!  Think you can snap a picture of that

speedo cranked all the way around?  :-)
