Can you go into more detail on this please? I have talked with many 65 owners and am yet to find more then one that had this problem. 70% seems like a high number of cars to have this issue. It seems to be more on the 55 motors.

Not trying to sound arrogant but thats because most 65 owners dont realize it and the way to find out is to race another 65. 4 out of 6 of the 65s we own ( me, bro, wifey, etc) Were not performing properly at one time or another. The car basically performs as a basic V12 with inactive turbos.
