Thanks Jon,

1) Is there a maximum amount of air my engine can handle without internal
modifications?

2) Would the MPI manifold change that?

Don't forget Dave Hughe's TB ; ) It goes without saying anyone who I've
seen with a Mag Perf. TB is very happy with Jules' work but I can't see
where all the extra $$ goes. With whichever you choose, you WILL feel the
difference as the TB is the 1st bottleneck in the intake system. add an MPI
after that and mmmmmmmmmmm what joyous fun!!

ps. I may sell my F&B TB shortly, as I don't think she's gonna flow what
the cam/heads/MPI will let me =)
