I am not sure what's going on.

I have been trying to find a pedal setting to make heal-and-toe easier for me. I settled on a setting where the pedals are quite low (forward).

Anyway, the pedal travel has been shorten. Could this cause my throttle not to open 100%? Because my cream puff keeps getting weaker.

It's almost to a point now that it has trouble getting out of its own way.

What could be wrong? I am getting about 11mpg... Could the car be running too rich? I have a little over 2300 miles on the car so far. It sounds normal, but just feel a little weak. I am fairly close to sea-level and air has been nice and cool.

Any ideas? If it's not raining tomorrow, I will probably put it on a dyno just to see what exactly is going on...

You might just be getting use to the power, so it just feels slower.

Take the number the dyno gives you and times it by 1.115 That should give you a very close flywheel number.

..just like a PC! You get the latest and greatest 1.5 GHZ machine...and it seems fast...... for about a day or two!

Get it on a dyno, that'll be the definitive answer!

If things work out, I will be putting my cream puff on the dyno today...

Then I will know why it feels weak.

It could very well be those sharp little kitten claws changed the calibration of my SOTP.
