It doesn't cost much for them to block off the slits in the hanger cup as a test so I suppose that's worth trying. I may just have to go to a surge tank setup. MDR makes a decent looking kit but it looks like FB is equipped to fab things like that.

Took the car for a drive this morning and here's what I discovered:

1) I drove the car in figure-8 patterns and in circles in a parking lot and it seemed fine while it was performing the manuever, at a constant throttle position. When I stoped and paused for a moment (while waiting to exit the parking lot), I saw the knockCEL indicator flash.

2) I drove around the roundabout in Eagan 3-4 times (a left turn) and when I exited I applied a little bit of throttle, similar to what you'd do at the track. The car misfired and the check engine light came back on (I had cleared it before leaving the house).
