Kuk (or do you prefer Marty) it's a habit calling you Kuk since I'm an
old-timer DML member. ;-)
Anyway, I tried your TC theory today. About 65, OD off, layed it to
the floor and after a few seconds re-engaged OD and sure enough,
engine rpms flared an extra 500 or so. Felt like a good kick in the
pants. I say FELT since I read Sam's post about this technique
increasing his et's.
