That I will definitely be seeing more power without my airbox/CAI setup on the car... I just went out for a drive and compared having the setup on, and taking off the top of the airbox and driving it around. And again, not only does it sound great, but it definitely pulls a bit stronger up top. It revs to 6krpm easier, it pulls in first gear to 6krpm faster... My mind is having second thoughts about not putting on some big K&Ns meant for the Corolla... I FEEL that the increase in power will be greater than the benefits of cold air... We shall see when I get on the dyno. I will actually take the complete airbox assembly off when I go to the dyno instead of just taking off the top. This is because the mounting plates and the bottom of the airbox are getting partially in the way of airflow that is trying to go down the throat of the carbs. On the end of the carbs(where the air first goes in), the carb throat is rounded a little bit like an air horn would be. It's very slight, but the airbox and it's mounting plates do not go along with the radius on the carb's throat. If you can understand that at all...?

Oh, and it also feels like there is a drop in low rpm power without the airbox/CAI setup on there. Under 3krpm or so? We'll see. When I go on the dyno I will try making some runs starting at very low rpms, maybe even 1500rpm with a gradual movement of the gas pedal to get to full throttle smoothly. I'm probably going to run in third gear again because I don't know if my rear wheels/tires are up for spinning at 110+mph...

And then forget me saying anything about getting the distributor recurved. I wonder what was going on in your heads when I was planning on getting it recurved...(DON'T say anything! 8^P) Recurving is almost pointless, because as some of you know, the thing stops advancing anyway somewhere around 3krpm, and where I want to be making maximum power is above that anyway. Who care's what's goin on underneath 3krpm, as long as the engine is as strong as it is now, I don't care! So what I did was call IPD, wanted to talk to Shayne, but he was on the phone, so I talked to Eric, and he said that he just put the Perlux in his 122 that needs the dizzy rebuilt, and it runs much better. So since my dizzy doesn't seem to be that bad(if bad at all, maybe I just need to clean and lube it...), I just ordered one up for myself. I'll let everyone know how it turns out next week when I install it!
