There will be visible aero mods. My logic is that less engine load == less heat==more need for heat dissipation management.

The prizm has an ovalish intake, but it has an obstruction going across the opening horizontal.

And now for something completely different:

Tried to test fuel pressure but the gauge doesn't work. Replaced fuel filter because the FPR sounded nasty and the pump was pulling enough current to make a paperclip too hot to hold while it was jumpering the pump on. Old filter was clogged up. With the new filter, the FPR sounds much nicer and the pump is drawing significantly less current.

I'll check the oil after a long drive and see if I'm able to burn off the gas in the oil. According to TDCL, my ECU is leaning out my fuel trims right now. Chances are that I'll have to recalibrate my MPGunio
