accidental may lead to improvement. I believe someone else did this in the horse power upgrade section.

I was putting in my cheap temp catch can. Did not want to buy any vacuun tube. I had an
old brake vacuum tub with a check valve in it(air can only travel one way) which was pretty long. So I swap it with the air fuel tub(shorter).
Call me crazy but It run even better. :D don't ask me why cause I don't know. Since the
air travel one way to begain with.

However I am still seeking that 7 psi at low RPM

Unfortunatly it's going to be a while. I was about to order new strakes (the ones from the UK), and then the central air went out in my house. So my money is gone for a bit.

When I do get to that point, I'll be happy to trace them.
