Your definitely right but still i wonder about the Bosche AFM and whether a small gain could be made on such a large displacement motor?
Is the throttle body bigger on US '85-'86 cars, the connecting piece btwn the throttle body and intake manifolds are very close in size.

Air passing into the lower intake faster and more freely could do something. The Bosche AFM can be ruined easily, it all works as a calibrated unit so any
mods need to be done very carefully re the wiper action etc. If the entire mechanism could be repackaged with a better designed inlet for flow that would be the ticket.

Pete thanks you're a great Wrench please share your ideas.
