since i want to tune my engine, how do i know how to set the low end needle?

thanks

I am sorry for asking to many questions, its just that after being at the track today I realized all these things, and the guys out there are busy alot of the time.
The lack of residue can be from many factors. Caster %age in the oil and many things. Don't worry about it. Tune the motor firstly by sound and how fast it is. Then if you like you can check the temps. Different fuels give off differnt amount of visible exhaust trail and leave different amounts of residue. Dont tune by "looking for a smoke trail" as some people advise.
