As I get the tuning closer this thing just keeps getting stronger. The hardest thing is keeping from mashing it. I still have less than a hundred miles on it so it's still roll on and off the throttle.

Great news, it's not using any oil.

Anytime that one is working out the kinks of an FI system its not good to "Mash it" simply because you never know just how rich or lean youmay be- thats what happened to Dave the first time around.... The break in period is VERY particular.. (Thats why I have a dyno and break in every engine with 30 channels of data acquisition)

Dave, glad to see its working well and that my kit made it happen.
