[DMCForum] Re: Clarification: Hot Start Fixed? (Forced Induction)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was merely responding to your complaint that the engine was getting
"too much air". If forced induction isn't "much air", I don't know
what is.

Mechanical changes are to beef up connecting rods, pistons, etc. Have
nothing to do with air flow.
