Shawn,
It's nice to see you back from seclusion.  I appreciate the insight into
this subject.  You are right, I definately notice a difference in power
when on the highway in 4th or 5th gear (mentally, it feels like I'm
getting more power at the lower end, but that may be my wishful
thinking).  Anyway, I need all the power I can get, I believe I will try
the RAM air you described.

Thanks,

John
