Thanks for all the additional comments.  The negative points are certainly mounting against "Paul's" intake (notice how I give him full credit now <g>).   At this point, I am burning a lot more fuel than Tracy, but now that I have a working O2 sensor, we'll see what I can do about that today.  I've already mentally conceded to a rev-2.1, which will consist of a new intake, but I'll certainly fly this one for a while, to see how it works out. 

 

Cheers,

Rusty (catching up to Ed with intake configurations)
