I wish I had......
SMALLER HANDS!!!
As you guys are aware that my ACV is screwed, I got another one today and attempted to replace it.
Took everything off, cleaned the new one, put it on.
Look over at my feet, what do I see? Exhaust check valve! F**k!
Took everything off again, put check valve in, start to tighten the bolts that hold the ACV in place. SNAP, SNAP.....F*&k ME!!!
Now I have 2 broken bolts stuck on the lower intake manifold.....
Hmm, pineapple sleeves are sitting on the shelve...hmm.....I gathered my courage and started taking off the upper intake manifold, then lower, and finally the sleeves. It was a Bi*TcH taking off the middle bolts on the LIM. Scratched up my hands in 23409234324 different places. This is where SMALL HANDS come in handy....
Anyways, put everything back in, found some vacume leaks, fixed them.
Took it for a drive.......

The mid range to close to peak power has vastly improved!
I usually don't feel the car moving until around 6000rpm.
But now, it starts moving around 4500rpm. The midrange improved so much that I didn't feel the kick at 6000rpm. I was like WTF?
But then I looked over to the SAFC...... AFL = 58.4%, it was 52% ish (52% is probably from my screwed ACV) before..... So I am happy. Props to Rob @ pineapple racing for this awesome MOD!!!
Now all I have to do is get it dyno tuned and I am done....
