Well, I finally got around to installing the ported and polished manifold. The car pulls like a motherf'er everywhere in the rev range.
I'm having to learn to drive it all over again since it got very, very, very responsive to my right foot. The SG helps a lot learning to keep my foot reeeeeeaaaaalllllllly still.
I have gains everywhere in the powerband since the computer is letting the car stay in TCC lockup on hills it previously would have unlocked on. Instead of kicking up to 2000 RPM and 8 mpg (steep hill @ 30 mph) it's staying at 1100 RPM and 14 mpg for that hill.
So it may well do better in the city now. I can hope...
Highway I haven't been able to tell yet since my fuel trims were reset and have not been relearned yet. It does go awfully nicely, though!
