He did give it a run I belive but the lack of power was not apparant till going uphill at about 40.
He probably just gave it a run to see it was running smooth and quite after the 2 jobs were done.

In all fairness, at low speeds and revs it was not really noticeable.

I had similar symptoms-struggling to get up hills and no power on kickdown and it turned out the air intake pipe had come off the airiitake manifold
