In 2 weeks, it is going on the dyno for some extensive tuning.

Bruce, if you're running really high injector duty cycles, that will contibute to your inconsistent AFR. Do the upgrade on the injectors before you spend a lot of cash on dyno time. So sense in having to go back and do it all over again when you do upgrade.

I'm running the best injectors you can get.
Injector Dynamics 4X2000cc with a Weldon FPR and 70 PSI base.
The dyno isn't going to cost much. A friend of mine owns it! ;-)

I realize that. I would go directly to jail without passing GO!
I do it on a country road. Living in Idaho does have some advantages.

not sure if this relates to US batches.. also to note that EGV and EG and other bike plugs can be noisy to unprotected inductive pickup signals ,, use only with suppressed ignition leads

why don't you upgrade to a 4 barrel TB, or any different intake setup so you can run 6 or 8 injectors?

that and you'll probably have to change your injectors, they dont know if the EV14 style injectors fit ( i don't think they do) but just run like 6 1600's they're alot cheaper anyways

I use BR9EIX plugs on L and T and they last longer than 10's and they don't detonate. I am at low to mid 500whp. They work awesome, I will never go back. I know they were meant for snowmobiles but what worse environment is there than a high powered two stroke, oil burning engine?

I think for street, if using E85, its ok to go a little warmer on the plugs.

true, they are very good injectors i like mine too. as for plugs im planning on running the Denso IRE-01 - 32's i believe they're about a 10.5 heat range plug, heard great stuff about these plugs and they're a little cheaper than the NGK's.
