Here I thought it was his choice of sealant... (Carl, reference joke from last night)

Very cool stuff too. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action and helping test the results.

****, I already know what I'm going to be doing Don't think that I'm some lecherous fool now. I give back what I'm given. I'm sure you both will get your fair share of design work at gratis or extremely-low-cost - at a minimum

Will Carl's mods make my 12A put out 1.21 Gigawatts (1.62 Million HP)...

I figure that besides having the carb jetted appropriately, the secondary air system is probably the most important for passing emissions. Some of the 3rd gen guys have dropped the engine drawn air pump, for an electric one out of a corvette. I'm sure with the proper electronic controls, and a replacement for the ACV, that you could make a system behave much like the stock system, without having to keep the vacuum driven system - the beloved rats nest.

Possible, but the cost would most likely be beyond anyones budget. It would be cheaper to make more hp to nullify the airpumps drag.
