So when you lean your HS your idle speed will increase and you have to compensate for that by richening your LS if you use my fixed 0.5mm air gap system
Also to save you some trouble down the road, rule of thumb is never blindly trust that how the needle settings came on your engine from the factory are correct for break in no matter what brand you are using. It's your engine in your car with your unique set up and you need to adjust your engine for that. It is never a good idea to just leave them like they came and not touch them until you are 80% of the way through the break in process. If you need some help with detailed break in instructions take a look at the first post on any of my threads. This system will work with any engine from any brand
Excellent advice thank you i will start double checking my motors from now on just to be sure they are right before i start break in, The guy who tought be how to break in motors was very good at it and that was one of is things was not touching the motors until they start to let go, however if i can improve my break in method i am always willing to change and add things to that procedure to make it better, and to make myself more aware of what the engine is doing throughout that process, Thank you again Ron, i hope i got your name right there between these two mills i should be good for awhile i still need to pickup a 2058 as i already have a 2013 and a 2057, i bought the 2057 for the B2 looks like i should have done a little more research as from what i have read the 2058 is the go to pipe but i plan on having all three any way, i like to be prepared and the cost of the pipes is more then reasonable, i think some were down the line i am also going to pickup one of each a B6 pro and factory team 3 port orion, i have seen the B6 in a few buggy's and man that thing rips and it sounds great too. So again i thank everyone for there help this is one of the reasons why i have stayed in this hobby for over 8 years now.
