Please refer fig 1A
6 Use temp gun and see how well it takes temps now.


Now that we have modified the temp gun we can use it to help us tune the engine!

Hope this helps !

Cheers MM

That should be a sticky on this forum! I think there is validity into grabbing a temp here and there, but tuning by it, well that's just wrong! Anyone who thinks they must will learn their lesson sooner or later.
