I'm concerned here that you may be trying to hold me to a guaranteed HP gain 
when you go to EFI. I know it's commonly accepted knowledge from those who 
know K, L and J Jetronic systems that CIS (K) robs >10% of available HP. I've 
yet to get my daily driver on a dyno and I've never driven a CIS DMC-12 so 
like I said before, I can't give you my impressions on performance gains 
under these circumstances. But if you only got 10% you'd be at 143, and 15% 
which is probably closer to the truth would put you at 149.5 HP. This is new 
territory and we'll all be learning together. Sound fair?
