    no

    i would have it floored and it would be deceleratin with the rpms fallin fast

    i had a large vam in it and i had my old small one layin around so i swapped them out and it stopped actin up its a lil slower,not alot, but it drives good now i have a computer outta a 87or88 auto t-bird is the large vam compatible?? i thought they were or did my vam just crap out on me?? or is it suckin in less air therefore not needing as much fuel??? lol i dunno just throwin stuff out there thanks
