i have the hsn set at 4.5 turns, the truck runs amazing, the only thing is the temp. is it bad for the engine running less then 200F
(i just posted the same thing in another thread b4 i seen this one)
Try leaning it out once its fully broke in, depending on the motor it can take almost 2 gallons while others do it in half a gallon. If it runns erratic when you lean it, return it to the setting it is now and wrap the head or a section of the head with tin foil to cut air flow and see if that brings it up. You should be bewteen 190 and 210 during break in, and always have it above 200 when running.
