Jeeze Bob, what an offer! How much willI have to contribute so that yo 
can handle the funds,lol..

Since there is a common point or nearly so, in all the runs then what is 
the common item. Well, I am now leaning to vlave float. But softly. With 
10 pounds of boost in th emanifold, the intakes see abot 30 pluss pounds 
on the back side. And that is reducing the seat presure on th esprings. 
So If I installed the springs at a badd height and the pressure on the 
back side is 10 I could be gently floating the valves. I have ordered a 
seat pressure test doo hickey so thayt  will for sure help to solve the 
riddle.

Now I want ya'll to know that I did a lot of aerodynamics in my life, so 
the aero thingy is not unknown to me. In fact I have all that stuff on 
my web site in the analysis section.  Plus Ihave some sophisticated 
software that has 90 plus inputs which lets me tune the car for speed.  
http://www.mayfco.com/  clickon the active link and then enter the site 
then click on the analysis section.

Allof it says it should be good.  If the motor is making power.  So, I 
am going to test these springs, and replace hem if I need to. Then try 
again on the dyno, if Bob has collected enough that there is some money 
left over. After all Christmas is coming, lol..

I may go to a different dyno however, as this one was a booger to get 
the car onto.

Keep thinking..
