There is a 22hp diff b/w the std and dx, and I heard it is mainly the tb gasket diff.

agreed, mpfi is the real answer, but not in the cards.

thanks again!

What you mean a difference of the STD, LX DX motor dual point are the same. Do you mean the HF as the STD?

LOL A gasket is not worth 22 hp. It is not even worth .5 hp. Holy ****, some people.

someone wrote that the restrictor plate on the std limits airflow, accounting for the 22hp discrepancy.
