Couple of questions for the STS crew:
1. What plug works best in the STS RS3 non turbo motor?
2. What are the factory settings for the carb?
3. What is the performance of the RS3 compared to the D5?

I ask these questions because I am using a McKoy MC59 (hot) plug now. It is the only plug I've found to work well but it is short lived. As well, I am having trouble keeping the motor lit durring fuel stops without blipping the throtle (which sprays fuel all over the car and doesn't allow for a full or quick fill) I don't want to open the idle up too much because that throws off the needle settings. The motor is running between 210 and 240 deg.s and the temp outside has been in the 70F range or 20C. I am over 1000ft above sea level. The motor is one season old and I am not running any head shims and Sidewinder 30%. Any help would be appreciated.
