I guess I just dont get the point of this, there arent that many modifcations without adding a supercharger out there on the marjet to get more juice out of this engine. So to me it seems like its at the top of its potential already. Like I said im no expert, but maybe an expert can chime in with an explanation to all of this.

Or maybe saskins could explain what this does, what benefit it will give the engine what testing he has done and if it does indeed give better performance then what the gain is. Test driving isnt going to prove that b'cus as soon as you get in the car your brain will be fed what it wants to hear(meaning if you really want it to work you'll be convinced it is working no matter what happens), that I am an expert on.
I don't think I'd convince myself with-out a test run or very good and true dyno numbers.
But besides getting off the top of the very hot engine.And letting the engine breath a little better i think it should help at least in hot weather areas or stop and go driving.
Since I usually drive around the cool ocean air area I live it may not help much.But it would help Saskins because he drives the Valley and Saugas area about 15-30 degrees hotter than were I live !!
