          Electric choke is a good idea.

          In my experience the car runs better until its warmed up.

                Well, unless you're trying to tell us that your balls haven't dropped yet, I'd stick with the original plan to put a 351W into the car.

                            Actually, I hesitate to suggest anything. The last time I did, some major engine-building celebrity tried to sue us all for slander.
