I'll tell you what I know:

A large V8 powered sedan is in your future so you can get to the next red light faster than all the other DB's on the road. Gas is free............right?
All I "know" is that the above post was rather unhelpfull.

Try cleaning the banjo bolts and hard line fronm the ALDA to the intake manifold. They get clogged with carbon and cause low power. Also make sure none of your brakes are dragging, all your filters are clean, your valves are adjusted, and your throttle linkages are lubed and properly adjusted.
