Ok, so the cats are last on my list. I'll try the screen and the regulator next. Couldn't hurt.

you'll need to pop a small hole in the exh pipe upstream of the catalyst to put a pressure gauge in, but on C4 that would mean using the O2 sensor bung. If you get more than 1 psi of backpressure revving in neutral, the exhaust is restricted.

you should also hang a fuel pressure gauge on the window with tape and drive it to make sure you still get 40 psi when it lays down.

Local Ventura weather has a 70% chance of rain tomorrow It has been changing constantly. Maybe by 16:00 it will be clear or snow

Gentlemen, the weather is against us and we have to reschedule. Rain is scheduled
for this weekend and next weekend. It is going to ruin the roads with debris. Let's change
the run for April 9th.

Read post #1 for updates.

Pete,

I have commitments on April 9 & 10, but am pretty much free on any other weekend. [/QUOTE]

I'm out for the 9th due to business travel. Maybe I can come back a day earlier, but I'm going to officially drop from the list until I say otherwise last minute.

Hope you and the crew have a lot of fun. Wish I did not already have plans for that weekend.

I am now putting the plenum back on and on Monday I will take it to the muffler shop to do a pressure test on the cats. We should be able to make one of those dates.

I'll try for the later date. The 9th is still possible, but probably not so I'm not gonna push for that.
