DieselSJ , does it run better after you modification?
I'd say it was worth the effort. I don't have any data logs from back then, but it almost seemed as if it would fall out of closed loop whenever I decelerated. It would almost stumble a little when I got back on the throttle after decelerating to a stoplight, and that totally went away. Seat of the pants it just feels smoother. Plus I used to have mileage that would swing between 8-11 and now it has settled into a pretty constant just over 10. When I had it smogged earlier this year and they ran it on the rollers, the tech commented that it was the smoothest running big block he has had in there.
