The JL will run really well over a broad range of idle/LSN settings...the bigger the idle gap you run, the harder on fuel the engine will be...Another thing we found is the engine gets better mileage with cooler plugs..our favorite pipe is the JP3....Tho no matter what you do it will never match the runtimes of the mod B5's, but i do think you can get decent runtimes with it.....
