And that's what I told him to run! LOL... I'm crazy tonight... anyway, yes, that's good general info, might go lower or higher depending upon your setup, weight, and driving style. Anywhere from 650-1200 Lbs/in. is acceptable, depending on a lot of factors outrside the scope of this discussion.

Hijack - Manny, we're missing the first Sebring race for a big show, I'll be at Moroso with a new engine, finally. Any hope of seeing you there in March?

We're one of the "draws" at the upcoming Better Busines Show / Melbourne Square Mall re-opening. Don't you read my weekly news ?

The motor is a rebuild of a spare I have had sitting in the garage since last year, just didn't have the $ until recently to do anything with it. The trick is going to be the tuneable EFI manaagement that Superchips is supplying me with. Now I'll be able to adjust for weather, etc. just like all the carb. guys! Except I'll have the crank trigger to go with it...

Marcello,

(Sorry to continue the "Hi-jack")

Isn't the F.I. supposed to automatically adjust for weather...temp, baro, density? We carb guys don't all swing the gauges around in a circle you know! Some of us just "run what we brung".

Will you have to bring the weather station to the track now?
