...does the 'Bird seem to have a lot more cojones when just off full-throttle? I just noticed this recently, especially in first thru third gear. If I mash the pedal to the floor, it hauls, but if I let off just a tad seems like the boost comes in higher and the engine pulls harder. I think I'll check the WOT voltage on my TPS to make sure it's in range. As a side note, the EEC is code-free. [Image: biggrin.gif]

It's normal. The EEC is programmed to dump fuel at WOT.

Soooo, what you are saying then is to install a Gillis boost valve, crank er' up to 18 so I can make use of all that extra fuel?

Only if you stock fuel pump can keep up! If it's getting weak, which they do, then it won't keep up. Then it can get lean quick.

You only need two tools in life; WD-40 and Duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should use WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use Duct Tape.
