Not me, but a couple people over on the STD forum (?) put a 3.5 pump in a 3.0 and said it made more low-end power. The 3.5 pump is calibrated for less fuel up top though (especially the .970) so I never had much interest in playing with one.

It was really weird, hard to explain. But when cruising at say 30mph and rolling on the throttle (say half to 2/3 throttle), it just wouldn't spool up. I can't possibly see how that could be the result of supersonics. It's not like it shot up and then died (although, I suppose it could be that my current high-RPM problem could be related to this somehow).

Yes, for now, the idea is to keep things as stock as possible, due to lack of time for custom fabrication. And, I'm curious to see how far we can take the stock setup power-wise, i.e. what the limit is for factory manifolds & turbos.
