Peter, you're right about the idle.  It'll have a nice lopey (sp?) at 
about 1200, if memory serves from my D Prod days.  OTOH, I don't 
remember what I had for breakfast...  It comes on the cam at 3500 like a 
kick in the pants.

"Completion" is being approached asymptotically - are LBCs ever 
"finished"?  WRT changing the .sig, since engine will be in a high state 
of tune, maybe I could put "TR4 tuna"?
