I've been working with Megasquirt with timing and Fueling. The car has been responding well to the changes.

I had to take a trip to the foothills today and decided to take the 914 and really test the changes. Most of the driving I had been doing had been around town so I wasn't sure how the car would respond to a long freeway trip.

while cruising up hwy 5 the cht's were 340.....I pulled up Tuner studios and leaned out the area around cruise a bit. Suprisingly the CHT's dropped about 5 * and were stable.

I kept the setting there and was wondering how this would be when I started climbing hills, again I was suprised how good the head temps were. nothing over 370(which was for a very short time) on the long climbs.

I don't have my 02 sensor connected yet so I can't say what the AFR is.

At the end of the trip, I drove 176miles and it took 4.5 gallons to refill....39.1mpg......NICE!!!
