Joe:
thanks. Despite all these wild (and maybe unworkable) things we've been
discussing, I think there is pretty good evidence that vacuuming the case
actually does produce more available HP, and I hope to buy something for
that after I've done some of the more cost-effective things (more ccs, more
compression, etc.)
What does Chrysler use it for-- brake vacuum?
