Hey, did you get your power(or lack-of) problem fixed?

If so, what was it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Not really. it is pretty cool in CO here today (50*) and I went out for a bit thinking that some cold air might really help, and it did, but still no smoke. Not even a chirp! It pulls very hard once it gets above 2500 rpm, it really feels like a turbo coming on. I don't know if it's in the trans (low stall speed tc) or what. I really think it's in a pretty good state of tune these days. I also think it may be ESC pulling LOTs of advance out of the motor. I am rather baffled. The car runs well and gets good mileage, so I can't complain too much. I don't really feel like throwing money at it (new ESC etc) until it gets faster. I have lots of experience tuning (my other car is a 1969 Bronco with a home assembled engine, and lots of performance mods) carbureted engines, but haven't had any with these new fangled computers with engines attached. I need to find a good local tuner to giev it a drive and maybe someone with Diacom to look at timing, etc. Any more input would be appreciated. Thanks for checking on me

Bob
