Oh I know your tapped this season Tim, I wasn't saying rush right out and change your ignition, my point is that when you can do it the results are impressive and well worth the investment.

the quickfuels are very adjustable, you can go .004-6 smaller on idle feed restrictions, or a couple larger on the idle air bleeds and see how it does..just went thru this on my blow thru

Wanted to experiment with a 3D timing map and EGTS this summer.

Like the Kevlar and spring oilers. EGT and timing you will need more than one in the same header tube to see if you need more or less,

Hopefully they no longer get wet with new exhaust.



Apache , figured taking the reading from just one might be useless but figured its better info than nothing, I will take it with a grain of salt.
