Bruce,

Well, the money wasting (as it were) has already happened. The thing runs like a real beast, and I've never had a throttle response issue. At least not when I put my foot down hard.

I was reading in another post (and maybe I should start a new post for this question) about some low-load hesitation.

I'm currently experiencing that. Car sits and idles like a pissed off dump truck, just how it should. Give it some gas and it hesitates a little, sounds like a dead miss.

Get out on the road and with very mild throttle (1/8 or less) it hesitates as the revs build...sounds like ignition failure, like the whole thing's turning on and off repeatedly and quickly. If you stomp it, this all goes away (as far as I remember...but it's been a while since the sun was out and it wasn't freezing) and it pulls immediately to 6K where I lift, straighten the car, grab second and do it again.

Some of the suggestions I saw seemed to focus around lean front jets. I know that on the dyno, we saw some pretty hot cylinder temps and we went up one jet size. Temps maybe came down 20 degrees but not what we were looking for and we abandoned that route.

Could another jet size possibly help the hesitation and the temps? I'll be damned if I remember what jets are in that motor now, but I can do some looking around one of these nights and let you know the specs of the motor and stuff, maybe that will help.
