Couldn't agree more here. John, if you can fly that Ultralight you can
probably do a home port and polish on your throttle body and get the off
idle improvement.

The rocker make sense for the extra lift vs. work involved for
installation but if my memory is correct, the cam gives better lift
numbers. Agreed, the duration specs are very similar to stock but this is
required to stay compatible with the OBDII. Too much duration would alter
idle quality and the computer would have a fit. Personally I think both
mods are WAY too overpriced.

My butt actually IS calibrated. ;^) I DID get an increase from the Moroso
wires. May not have been in acceleration but the truck definitely seems to
not have to work as hard. MSD gave the same improvement but not as
noticable. Increased gap will probably add a little more.....as this
change was done by a fellow DML member and a slight gain was felt.

What are these going for now? Any opinion on the new G-Tech offering?

This mod IS on my list of coming attractions. What would a new M1 offer?
Direct fit for the fuel injection? The carb version would probably be
better for nitrous applications
Just my 2 cents.
