I had already done two complete tanks back to back on the track so that the engine and chassis would all ready be holding temps before setting up the camera for this footage, I was running a werks #6 plug, 2013 werks pipe, nitro x 30% nitro fuel and really well worn proline holeshot tyres, The body was off the car to make it easier to tune the car where I wanted it to be so the temps would be higher under race conditions with the body on.
SINGLE STAGE IDLE TUNE:
TWO STAGE IDLE TUNE:
Read the description on the video's if you would like more info about the tune
I have a new B5 with 1 race day on it and I love it so far but I do have a question about the above videos. Do you want your engine to have a 2 stage idle? I have always tried to tune engines to idle down immediately.Am I wrong?
Thanks
