It seems to give better throttle responce at mid range.
On my test hill (paved but steep and long) it can carry 2ND gear all the way up. That has been a way for me to tell if new equipment is "snake oil" or actually produces more torque.
Eric said that the manifold hook up for the vac hose didn't work well but there is no place on the Harley CV carb to attach to. Everything is still there so I can attach back to the manifold as a test.
I do run premium. Have not done MPG yet, that is almost as important as power to me. If I carry more gas to extend range It's more weight, thus giving away some of the Samurai's superpower.
The mission of the sammi is to get me from my driveway to explore places that I wouldn't take my AWD Astro van, so even if I use the vac adv sometimes and disconect it for other tasks (freeway/crawling) that's ok.
Just where to set the base timing for each if anybody has done things this way.
This is my first Suzuki but back in the 1980's I had VWs (bug, van and ghia) and the mech only lightning whirlers always worked best.
