Bob,
Numbers are good...It would be a good thing to do the dyno pulls immediately
after resetting the comp and after 3 or so drive cycles. My truck definitly
felt different after a few cycles. Im running the 700 CFM unit and the
truck has "warmed up to it" over time. I still think its leaning out at
extended WOT (I dont really drive that way...) and Franks dyno pull seems
to verify that. We're hoping the mope perf computer is going to richen
things up! You should see the TB this weekend (if UPS is to be trusted, and
they are...)

I'm planning either a couple of dyno pulls or at least some G-Tech runs
with the stock vs. the "Frank-and-Bruce whoop-ass special" (FABWAS) TB
to get some good feedback on how it performs with the 318/JBA
headers/K&N FIPK/Jet II setup on my truck. I thought just a simple dyno
pull with a TB swap between runs, but I'm worried the computer won't get
to learn the change quickly enough to really appreciate what's been
done. I think it really needs a couple of drive cycles after a change
like that to really kick in, but that's just a gut feeling.

Still debating, but either way we'll have some numbers and not just butt
dyno stuff to show how these mods work on something other than the 360.
Then I'll just get the hell outta the way while you guys mow down Frank
and Bruce to get your own TBs done<evil grin>.

Bob
