Actually I was looking for more HP without going the V8 route. I currently
have the Weber downdraft and it was a huge improvement over the Zenith but
I would like to have a little more as I'm sure everyone would! Maybe the
DCOE is not the answer. I am just so tired of not keeping up with Escorts
without winding up to 4500 rpm! Any suggestions?
