Hi Stew,

    I'm glad to hear that it was an easy fix and all is well now. It's
amazing
how something so simple as a loose connection can bring major stress ;-)
Would you say that the new intake and TB made a huge difference on mid-
range & top end? Or just a noticeable difference? At what RPM range do
you start to feel the improvement?
    If you want to reclaim some of that low end (or psuedo low end) have
some new gears installed. I am very impressed with my 3:90's and I don't
miss my 3:55's one iota.
    Be sure to let us know how the rocker installation goes and what
difference you see.
    As for Tony's work, I know I've told you in the past, but $ for $, I
strongly believe his TB was the best mod yet. If you have an extra core
laying around, it would be interesting to have Tony do it up and compare
the results against the Hughes. I might be biased, but I think QuickD will
win ;-)
