um....only at rpm's below it's blossoming powerband. the whole point is to use the exhaust momentum to completely clear the chamber, fuel losses be damned.
bbv delete at a 850 rpm idle that thing did not like to be alive. idle inj on time increased after the bbv delete, blower ran over 100* cooler.
the animul pre IC bypass was quite terrible, seems whipple figured that out as all their shit is post ic to keep from building up heat in the screws/housing as it reciculates
the wideband and the plugs jived at the track when the riv was at WOT the whole run. I know at idle it ran best at 22to1 afr, and smelled like the asylum took over the distillery's barrel house at idle, but even after we deleted the bbv to solve the housing heat distortion issue, the tune over 3k didn't change much beyond steady cruise. you can see in the vids that it always blew flames from the exhaust loading up at idle, eric always loved to scare the shit outta people, the flowbastards were quite good fuel traps.
that thing sucked till it hit 3k, but it never mattered since it always spun em if he laid into it too hard unless he was moving.
god I mis that car, all he needs is a new snout and tb plenum and he's able to put it all in the fiero
if he ever works on it
rly:
that's a lot more busy than my ass sitting overseas waiting for something to break. 
wonder how many top swaps could be built to dust that NA L26 for less than what the heads cost.......
