It has MFI. I'm combing the archives now to find more info on MFI & tuning. The PO did quite a bit of around town driving. When I was installing the headers, there was alot of carbon buildup on the exhaust ports. I carefully cleaned out what I could from there, but not sure how much that helped. (PO ran the car without the thermostat hose hooked up)
Since putting it on the road last week, I've put 700 miles on the car, mostly highway, mostly at 80mph
