Mike,
I guess I am a tree-hugger at heart. At every smog check the emissions =
from my V6 are so far below the California limits that they are off the =
bottom end of the scale. I have paid my green dues and I assume that =
reasonable mods can be made to the engine will keep the V6 below the =
limits here in California.
My problem is that three quarters of the gas pedal travel seems to be =
wasted, always has. I guess the spark advance dies too quickly. I'm =
looking for any mods that would get my Dak to perform half as well as my =
wife's car that gets the same gas mileage. If all that fuel is not being =
converted to horsepower or smoke out the rear end I wonder where it is =
going? Perhaps global warming?
