V8troopie,
re your query on the lag when you um, "plant it",
From my experience with V8 carby engines (petrol, of course) in my "hoon" days (30+ yrs. ago), this "lag" is typically the result of TOO MUCH air.. i.e., not enough fuel at that critical moment when the throttle is opened wide...
Standard fix in those days (with a Holley) was a bigger accelerator pump kit... Bigger "squirt" when you plant the boot.. fixed it right up...
(I'm aware of the differences with the fuel/air delivery systems between petrol & diesel engines, so I've no idea what the cure would be in your case)...
Actually, never heard of anyone doing this, but the ol' mind just got thinkin' maybe if you could work out a way to "give it a shot of ether" just as you plant the boot, I reckon she'd give ya whiplash!!! hehehe
