Unless you need an excuse for some serious tuning?

No, I don't think I am going to do any more tuning to that engine!  This
Twin Cam was rebuilt by Jay Ivey of Portland, Oregon. It's a "rally specs"
engine,  dynoed  on a bench (152 hp at 7200) by the builder, then retuned
later on in San Diego (115 hp  at 6400 rpm  at the rear wheels) for  better
fuel mileage to improve the car's  range (the Seven has an 8 gallon fuel
tank). Up here in the Black Forest, I had the carbs tuned for altitude
(smaller venturis and main jets), and I am sure I lost quite a bit of power
as compared to sea level, but there is still plenty enough left to keep up
with the traffic!
