thanks man, great info! i will try it tomorrow and give you an update. i'll try to get a quick video up as well, i kinda suck at explaining things lol

yes the engine is broken in. i was having trouble getting them running at first, and ran out of patience quickly, and worried i would break something, the site i ordered them from told me they would break in and tune both for free (i bought a truck and drift car at the same time)

i got them back expecting to un box and rip around, i couldnt even get them started. it turns out they were broken in and tuned at 3600 ft above sea level (texas maybe?), and i am 16 ft above sea level in Nova Scotia. i actually got them working pretty to my liking (the pros would laugh at me tho i think), but it's the very "fine" tuning thats killing me.

any idea what the starting points are at sea level? my HSN is just about 5 turns out and still running rich, fuel from pipe, smoke, hottest i seen was 170, usually by the time i stop and grab the gun its at 150
