hhhmmmm... it may have worked....

tested it up to 127 and it held together, so maybe if i actually get it fabricated.
after hundreds of dollars in research (back and forth to the store, ok, let's try this, uurrggh, ok, let's see if this will line up, etc. etc, mostly spent on filters, the high flows aint cheap)
and endless manhours, actually, endless brainbstorming. (50 hours - 30 hours assembly - 20 hours research, remember it's a concept - where did those numbers comes from, yep, i did kinda celebrate when we got back, so pui.). more like, 2 -3 hours in cutting, shaping, sanding, checking, remaking, etc. etc.
now i'll finish the second part and see what happens.
seat of the pants says, yep.
so far no codes, no missing, temps. were normal, performance was good - didn't have the kinda soft acceleration in sixth, from 65 - 85. coasting along in sixth it would feel kinda slow to accelerate for passing, didn't overtake folks as quickly as it does now. all of the gears seem more responsive including first. now i gotta learn the clutch again.
not sure which mod made the most difference though. once i get everything the way i want i will go get some numbers, then i will return it to stock and run it again. i'll let stock have the second run. if the mods make any diff. putting it back to stock should show it. i'll do the 100 mile computer self re-adjust then do a stock pull. i know, i know, different day different results, blah, blah, blah.... if the mods are that good the numbers better show up or how can you trust any results/pulls. if you get one set of numbers one day and on another day with the same setup you get a significant change then i wouldn't trust the dyno. that's like stepping on your bathroom scale and... wow i lost, no wait i gained, ehh.. uhh... BUNK !
if all turns out well, i'll need to get a prototype fabricated and then get it tested.
