Harold,
why would you put something in between "old" stuff to get some gain,
when replacing old parts with better performing parts will really
improve? I have replaced coil and cables by Johns 40kV coil and MSD
cables. Result: 2 more kilometers per liter (approx 5 Mi per gallon).
Furthermore my car has more spunk even at lower speeds, but performs
awfully better at higher rpms. I guess a quarter mile now probably
would bring blush on muscle cars now :D
And I have to agree on Johns prices: Nology over here (Europe) costs
some 400 US Dollar! My set from John only 172 including shipping.
I rest my case.
Welmoed.
