     The next thing I'm going to do is get rid of this high rise manifold, 
     It does me no good on these roads. 
     
     
Try the Edelbrock Performer 289, works reeeeaal good on a stock engine.

When we first bought this tiger and went to pick it up.  I checked the tire 
pressure and found 50 psi in all the tires.  It had a new set of yoko's and 
I thought this was a just a mistake by the po.  So I let the pressure down 
to the recommended 32 psi.  After that she handled like a bus.  I kept it 
that way for quite awhile, but just yesterday I decided to up the pressure 
to 40 psi after reading an article in autoweek about a car handling better 
with more pressure in the tires.  anyway the car now steers much easier, 
it's a little twitchy but not as bad as when it had 50 psi in the tires.  I 
was wondering if anyone else has done this.  I will keep close tabs on the 
tire wear in the center of the tread, but I sure like it better this way!! 
Maybe the po new what he was doing, although I think 50psi was too much.
My arms sure were less tired after the last run, and I found that the car 
didn't bog down as much in the turns and I didn't have to down shift as 
much.  There's not many straight roads here (northern Calif) and most of 
our driving is up and down Hiway One.  The next thing I'm going to do is 
get rid of this high rise manifold, It does me no good on these roads.
