So, I applied the techniques to Teggy today and it worked great!

Since it's Saturday, I didn't have the over-caffienated office-types and minivan Moms riding my bumper, so coast times were decent.

Another technique I used today was to monitor the Ignition timing. I recall that 28+ was the target for efficient operation. That helped a lot.

The SGII reported 37.5 in mixed driving today on a cold start (with 3-hour EBH). It will take some additional tanks to work out the noise (this tank will be a bad example -- carbon cleansing, transmission fluid change, resetting the ECU/TCU, etc.)

The acceleration portion definitely improved. Thanks again!
