WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
So you have your pitman run after the car on the track to tune it...? NO - with a K2 you must leave it on the rich side even if you have it up to temp in the pits. More so then on like a Nova based motor.

"those pit tuners drive me nuts" - so how do you do it then? Just start it up and throw it on the track and come in 5 times in a row to re-tune it? In like Furulund that would take like 5 minutes (fourstroking around the track would do about 45s lap times) and the track warm-up time here is only about 3 minutes. I wouldnt have Magnus scream at me for f*****g up the tuning so he wont have any good track time and get into the groove... It needs to be good within a lap and really good when the heat starts.

No, and I dont use a temp gauge either - only my ears mostly...
