    Anyone read "Down-Low 5.0" in MM&FF?

    Anyone in Asheville,NC or surrounding area?

    Hey guys, My vert is running rich and Ive narrowed it down to the Mass air meter. I was wondering if anyone in the surrounding Asheville area has a MAS calibrated for 24# injecters and if they would allow me to put it on my car too see if it cures my probem? Thanks Kelly
