I would like tom get the power up a bit but the only thing i come up with is
people telling me to play with the fuel pump and timing . I am sure at continental
they knew a few tricks I understand that those engines are very strong in terms of
reliable but hay biger turbo and injector and pump work and its got to crank out
another 40 or so. I also heard that the tranys are not the strongest. One unit i
was going to see the owner says it jumps out of 5th is this common or is it easy
to fix . yours truly power hungry Dan.
