Way cool!

littledcsrodshop 08-29-2010 04:33 PM

Nice Indeed !!!

Looks like carbs on top of the PSI's, or is it injection ??

chattviper 08-29-2010 05:24 PM

i could be wrong but i think they are carbs...due to the loping of engines.

the loping is caused by over rich condition at idle. Easy to dial out, but why would you?:drink:

SpeedDoc 08-30-2010 08:14 PM
