^^^Sorry. I just told him I would do a search for him so I did. Honestly I was just trying to do it somewhat quickly and not forget (which is what I would usually do)

Frankly I'm surprised he helped at all... I wouldn't blame him for saying F'off! But DaveO is always willing to give an informed opinion - he will only explain if you are willing to understand and listen.
In this case "do it or don't" is pretty gracious. {side note - I wonder if DaveO knew this stupid thread would come up when DaveB asked his rhetoric question?}

If someone did a dyno and it clearly showed a worthwhile gain (elevated power curve by 5whp+), then I'd probably consider it. But when someone says mod "X" works simply based on principle and technical background, but without any dyno data, it's very hard to accept. I guess I've just been burned WAY too many times by buying into accepted internet claims.
Would you not want a power mod to actually add power? Would you not want proof?

If this was a forum about the first moon walk you would tout a bunch a **** about how it was in a studio and not in space and where's the proof... if this was about a tree falling in a forest you would go on and on about no one was around to hear the sound so where’s the proof... Damn man drive your phucking car and leave the rest alone!

I don't think they cut corners in the engine compartment to accommodate frivolous **** like that (amoung other things).

It's my understanding that Type I autoboxes work a bit differently, and *some* have exhibited odd behaviors with the torque converter on dynos. It's not uncommon for anything below 4000rpms to be invalid. And I think that's also the cause for the looping artifacts displayed in andy's plots.

Need I post a picture? Do you know the difference between an accessory belt and timing belt

Invalid argument. He has a motodyne spacer installed.
