tuning with my wideband is so easy you instantly see what the problem is



A) way too much fuel, take some out

B) way too little fuel, add some



i can't believe how much faster and easier tuning has become!

Well Van you got me interested with your speach. Can you get one for the $850 you were talking about? If so I could sell my PMS for about $500 and put in the rest. Then bam ..done.



PM me and let me know what you think?

Why do you disable the o2 sensor with a PFC?

Hey Judge Ito. Why do you square off the top of your ports? Any special reason or is that just the way that you do it?

For those of you that have looked into the secondary ports, to see the path that the air has to follow to get into the engine, doesn't it seem like it could be better? The air has to almost do a 90 degree turn as it passes the bulge in the port where the ecentric shaft oil cooling area thingy is (somebody has to know what I'm talking about). I'm rebuilding a friend's engine right now, and when I go to port it, I was thinking about building up the port to smooth out that area. So that the air would more fluidly flow into the front of the chamer that is opening, instead of running into the air coming from the primary ports. In Bruce Turentine's rebuild video, he did something similar to the 5th and 6th ports on a 6 port. I wonder what is more important, the path in which the air travels, or the sheer volume of a port. Any suggestions are welcome, even if you're just calling me a dumb bastard.

disabeling the O2 sensor eliminates a bunch of the herky jerky crap bottom end... and makes it easier to tune bottom end...

,and you should aways clean out the slop on the other part of the ports not just the chamber opening.

I realize that. What I'm talking about doing, is taking epoxy, and adding material to the port, to smooth out that "hump" in the secondaries.
