[DMCForum] Re: Jeff Misunderstanding (Mark)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're reading way too much (or else I'm not being clear). Jeff's a
super guy. If he does indeed sell his car, I'm going to be sorry to
see him leave the community (perhaps only for a while?).

I'm all for his intake manifolds. That's the only thing holding back
people who want to experiment with alternative fuel metering. I just
worry that the plenum is too big on his design. You need pretty tight
intake runners for crisp throttle response, especially at low RPM's.
In fact, that design may not be his at all, but rather a race
engineer's (in which case a big plenum makes perfect sense -- race
cars run wide open with little manifold vacuum).

That exhaust looks exactly like the one that used to be on his car --
did he make another or sell you his?
