[T2] This Day in History: Attack of the 50-ft Nader

[c.dreike]

Hi Dave,
I have a Mexi-bug intake and megasquirt. Got it all as a kit from 
thedubshop.net.
I reread my post. The 16:1 A/FÂ  and 40 advance should be set for easy 
cruising maybe 55-65mph.
I think I'm fairly close, I need a day when the freeways here is 
Southern Cal are not packed. Maybe on a Sunday morning early.
Around town it runs great.

Chris
