Some mods produce a qualitative change and it's hard to guess HP, ET, or some other change. Maybe you could put in a "Comment Box".

A good example, in my case, was knocking out the anti-tamper plugs in my electronic Q-Jet and fine tuning the air bleed, solenoid needle travel, idle mixture, TPS, and secondary rods. The engine feels a LOT better but I couldn't tell you what HP I gained. Also, I replaced the single stock muffler with an Edelbrock RPM Series muffler. The car definitely feels better from 1500-3000 RPMs but I don't have any quantitative measure to prove it.

Yeah, comments section would be nice. So would a breakdown between the 305 4bbl LG-4 and the 305 4bbl L-69 HO. Almost anything you do to the LG-4 makes it go faster. Not so with the L-69 HO motor.
