And we replaced with intake/carb/ignition spec'd for my 427 SR motor. Got the car back 2 weeks ago. RUNS BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS!!

I suspect the ECU/Management system has been flaking out for the past 2 years. A couple of hints: 1) the exhaust and overall heat of the motor is cooler now, 2) prior I would get a raspy sound from the pipes at idle. No more..nice and deep rumble, 3) at idle the motor is steady as a rock.

Thanks

Jeff
