Ok maybe I should try that. I kinda prefer the old pull a plug trick though. there is no better reading of what is goin on in the combustion chamber then pullin a piece of it out. I pulled one after the run today and it was def. lean and it looked as though the timing was a bit too retarded.

hey rcdblink716 give me all your specs in a pm. i want to plug it into my dyno 2000 and see how close/far off it is. we can assume a certian % for drivetrain loss and maby get a close crank hp #, but its prob a waste of time lol
it seems to be like 5hp high for every 100hp from other people running it against engine dyno #'s

I still pull the plugs as well, the wideband is just another usefull tool for tuining and is more acurite for some of the tuning because it gives real time data.

True True. I'm sure I'll be tuning this thing for at least another couple of weeks. Thanks for the input guys, I'll get it right eventually. I've got some great teachers at school who are really willing to help get it right. It's nice.
