Well I dunno about sleeper, the true dual 3inch exhaust with X pipe and stainless Magnaflow 3inch mufflers kinda give it away at the stoplight, or to anybody listening a mile away :P

My idea of a sleeper is a car that looks stock on the outside, (no offence but) a car that you wouldn't think could make an 11 sec pass if you saw it parked on the street. The only thing that would give your car away (not running and with the hood closed of course) would be your hood.

Very cool car.

Does the timed vacuum source work on the HP? It looks identical to the Proform mainbody, but on the Proform, the timed vacuum passage isn't there to feed the metering block.

Nope, timed vacuum source does absolutely nothing
I just have it connected cuz I was too lazy to buy plugs.

Because the distributor essentially has locked out timing anyways since I have the lightest springs in there, and any more timing added by vacuum would make it detonate pretty bad seeing as how the compression is up towards 11:1. The car is really used for weekend fun and track purposes only, so throttle response is not so much important as WOT
I might try that idea just for the hell of it tho. Who knows.
