Yeah! I got a theory or two! Balance robustness should be tuneable without
mini-plenums. The most I can see is a dinky vacuum line between ports to 
establish a average vacuum reference for the ecu.

   Any real tuner :-) would be more than happy to get out the mercury 
tubes to balance out their turbocharged, intercooled, nitrous
injected, port throttled efi v-8 :->

Anybody know where I can get some rubber to put around the asphalt roller
I'm going to need for rear tire?
