I was very clear when I stated the FANS made more HP than the car did.

As we were discussing this weekend, did you find any of the vacuum hoses incorrectly routed or learn of any other small tricks to making it run better while tuning?

Sounds like a 1994 Chevy Beretta.

No Steve --- the one hose that was run from the VC to the back of the air filter housing was all that was needed according to Sam at AMP. They did everything correctly and no changes where made to the physical install.

You have no idea how appreciative I am of your letting me have the motor from your DD. I'm not sure how I'll ever be able to repay your kindness!

So apparently your motors output is perfect for you Greg.

It left Brizio's yesterday for a photo shoot in LA...

Gwen will see it (learn about it) for the first time on June 12th at 7AM when we show up at his shop... to drive it (along with 20+ other Brizio builds) to the L A Roadsters Show in Pomona... then we'll leave there and cruise up California 1 to the Carmel / Monterey area... spend a couple days messing around there. Then finally bring it home.

Sounds like a wonderful suprise. Don't know how you do it, I would have already let the cat out of the bag.
