Subject:      looking forward to more dyno results from Boston Bob

THANKS Robert of Boston Bobs  for getting all of the info on the dyno for
our dinos........

   I really appreciate the dyno readings after changing such things as the
rocker ratios, I'm looking forward to chips & rockers & I'm really looking
forward
to the readouts on the stock 1.9 L........advanced to around say 6 degrees
BTDC at idle......hint hint.
Just wanted to say thanks from all of us trying to squeeze out all of the
usable power out of our underpowered  Vanagons without harming the motor.
I'm already running my 85' at 6 degrees BTDC and I've noticed great
improvement in acceleration and hill climbing over the stock timing of 5
degrees after TDC.

I just wanted to get the new HP and torque curves on this performance
alteration.........I swear by this advance and have had my van timed at 6
degrees BTDC
for several years.........137K original miles..........
