I have the exact same setup except for the Full-Monty part, I can say the stock X5 race certainly has balls, I can't imagine what a FM would feel like.

are you coming to Arizona in February? I need help tuning my Pinch Bolt and my idle screw. Oh Yeah, you know that little set screw at the end of the pipe that holds it to the wire thingy?, Can you tune that for me also?

Oh boii ,here we go

You know i wont miss a DNC bro

no seriously I'm panicking over here! There are 4 screws under the engine that seem to go through the chassis but when I tune them all it does is make my engine loose. I cant get anymore power out of those 4 screws no matter how lean I make them and if I richen them up the engine just slides around on the chassis!

James. Your supposed to leave 2 of them tight, diagonally across from each other and tune with the other 2. Only use those screws for mid range tuning thou. I'll help you out next time I see you at the track.

Merry Xmas

Thank you Bill! Merry Christmas to you also. Do you how to tune the pipe exhaust springs also? I was told the little springs tune top end and the big spring that goes around the entire engine tune the low end, of course this is only possible with a 7mm idle gap but I'm not sure what that means

3 needle carbs use the carb to do that.....
But tuning that pinch bolt can be very tricky. I leave it to he professionals.

You guys are sooooo offbase , its alllll in the idle screw ,get it right , sheesh ,amateurs

you're confusing me, someone on here told me the idle screw only works if you've sealed the vacuum port

Oh boy.... And who gave it the name vacuum port anyway... Lol..


I always tune my engine after I replace the muffler bearing, but I tune with the 4 bolts that hold the engine to the chassis

What is the benefit of the turbo muffler bearing? Which color powerband are you using and where/when? What color screwdriver do you use to the the idle?

Be careful tuning using the pinch bolt to tune your engine. It takes great skill.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

never used the Turbo muffler bearing... and i use yellow for everything..
