It has nothing to do with robbing horsepower but has everything to do with heat and moisture in the asperator tubes which will discolor and rust them out. On some cars I machine non smog manifolds to accept the asperator tubes but do not drill them completely through so there is no need to plug them. </div></div>

I was basically going to say the same thing as Rick has this morning, but I got side tracked with outside work.
