How are you measuring all this data? Are you going by feel of acceleration to gauge power shifts? Do you have some sort of instrumentation installed to measure IM temps and other things? I have no instrumentation of any kind right now. I do have an MPGuino that I need to install, but it’s not in yet. My vehicle is OBD1.
No the pipes to & from the heater core run under the intake tube...

The no datalogging for any of this, I dont have the bandwidth for it. I look at throttle input on the hills on the typical drives... on the way into work leaving town there is a decent grade that the motor will upshift into 4th gear and put along for a short period at 1300~1400 rpms, it will downshift for a short time, then upshift again and eventually repeat. The hill is approx 1 mile long & speeds are 45-50 mph.
