A lot of feel good happy customer! a few other fourm a couple of guys tried this mod with what the say was a seat of the pants emprovement which everone seem to like! I found one dyno run and the improved smog testing number! Was hope to find some science on air flow and pressure wave info to better understand this design!

Interesting, but you posted about a fuel injected mod in the carburetor section of TGO? Might ask a Mod about moving it to TBI/TPI/LT/LS section.

$350 to cut a groove with a Dremel? You could buy a lot of Tornados for that.
