I un did it and never saw the surging again. The 2.2 hpat 600rpm just is not worth it IMO.

Reminds me of a story...I was riding with my brother in his 1971 bronco a few years back going down a straight stretch of highway coming up on a stoplight intersection. He lets off of the gas and nothing happens, so we figure broken return spring or stuck throttle, but the accelerator pedal wont pull back either. With four wheel drum brakes and 33" tires, there's no way to get the thing slowed down in time with the motor working against us, so I come up with the bright idea of killing the ignition. Let's just say when 750 cfm of unburned fuel hits uncoated headers at full temperature, you get some mighty impressive backfiring. Blew both mufflers apart quite completely
Turned out the air cleaner stud had vibrated loose and wedged the butterflies open on the carb.

The effect on a wet maifold system is much different than a dry manifold like our GenIII engines.
Look at snowmobiles for example, the older models with carbeuretors had coolant lines running through the carbs to prevent icing. The evaporation and flow of fuel through a carb can lower the temp below ambient. Also look at the effect of running a engine on the rich side VS lean side, it will run cooler because of this effect.
I'm not a rocket scientist but I think I'm right on this.
Trying to find something on wind chill and its effect on metal, I thought there was a study done on this.

Glad to hear it all turned out O.K
Thats why I don't have a intercooler. lol There is no way that throtle body is getting stuck with 150+ IAT's. J/K I real dont have the throttle body bypass done.

Yeh wilde...I got a chuckle out of pops...something about a vietnam war guy who loves fishing, hunting, and driving fast!!! Calm as you can be. I might mention one of my mods that's not in my sig is those huge Brembo brakes. 4 pistons and slotted/drilled rotors...she didn't have a chance...she was stopping!!!
