Hi, Rich

Thanks. That's really valuable info. for me but unfortunate that you had to
go
through the 'try and learn' route. Are you going back to the stock intake
manifold or have you come across a cam more suited to the MPI?

Bob

Hi Bob,
Great to hear from you. Was just thinking about sending you a note earlier
this week. Regarding the cam, after spending some time on the phone with
Dave Hughes, I grit my teeth and blew a big hole in my wallet and ordered a
different cam to match the M1 intake. $$$; OUCH, to say the least! If you
know anyone who would like a very nice Hughes cam, send them my way. It
will even pass emissions testing. So what have you been up to?
Rich
