Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!

I got my Spidertax tube in the mail today, and installed it as soon as I got home.  I was so amazed by the difference that I made my 20 year old daughter drive it to get an impartial judgement.  (She had just driven it before the installation, to run for a gallon of milk.)  She agrees, NOTEABLE improvement.

Here in Pittsburgh, we're almost always starting from a dead stop on some pretty steep hills.  That UHH-HUHH clutch feathering is totally gone.

The little 1300 now sings a much sweeter song, and her range of notes is devoid of the previous flats and sharps in the midrange.

If you have a carbed 1.3 without this simple fix, by God do it!

That's awesome.  I wish I could shave 4.1 seconds off the 0-60 in my Mustang for $13.  I could do 0-60 in less than 1 second.

No hard data to report, but keep in mind where we're starting from.   :D    At least now the little brick in the wind seems to be able to get out of it's own way.

I still enjoy the thrill of driving at 10/10ths just to keep up with other oblivious folks on the road who are talking on their cell phones, reading stock quotes, and putting on make-up.

Ya, a 1 second 0-60 mustang would be nice, but it's much easier to shave 4 seconds
off of a 0-60 time of 30 seconds for $13. If your stang will do 60 that fast, you already
have the $13 part, LOL

Take the air box off and look into the carb.  If it's already there, you don't need it.
