There is a ton of info in the search feature...MOst has to do with efi but you should find what you need...I know a dyno is almost a must to get an efi right....

Run a M3 on a 509, when running a carb had prosystems do a 950 for me was spot on out of the box, ran the procharger box, Patrick did not like the idea of me running a hat, and they are NOT legal on a boat, now running our own port EFI and that is the way to go hands down..as far as tuning, if you do not have a carb done for the app, jet pretty rich to start, have to boost reference the power valve in primary, don't run one in the secondary, make sure you have solid floats(not brass) as they will crush, I run a aeromotive A1000 pump large line and a boost referenced regulator with a RETURN(very important) locked dist at about 28 timing..good luck Rob

I'd run a plug at least a couple steps colder than a delco 43. Thats a stock mercury naturally aspirated plug. I'd run a NGK -9, or even a 10. And NON projected tip. Boost referenced regulator with a return to the tank.

Return to tank or through a cooler back to front of pump this works better in a single with twin tanks ......good luck
