Have someone test for excessive exhaust back-pressure. 1.5psi or less (preferably less) at idle; 3 psi or less at 2000rpm; this is a rule of thumb for most stock naturally aspirated gas engines. While holding the rpm at the 2000rpm watch that the gage does not slowly climb. As in 2psi when engine first reaches 2000rpm and then slowly climbs to 3, 4 or higher the longer the rpm is held there.
