You didn't tell me to modify the snorkel. You merely put an idea in my head, and when I looked at the snorkel, I agreed with your observation, so I pulled it off to see if it would make a difference. I thought it might have, but since I didn't do a series of timed before and after tests, I can't be sure of it. I'm going to put it back on tomorrow, and see if the car seems slower than it was today.

I'm not trying to increase performance beyond stock, just get it back to what it should be, which is the equal of my previous car, an 88 745 with the same engine, manual transmission, and rear axle ratio. By all rights, the 240 should actually be a bit quicker, as it weighs 150-200 lbs less.
