Hi Finn

Thats good news.
At some point I=E2=80=99ll plug the EC3 in and see what the EM3 reports.

We=E2=80=99re finally back in the air and testing again after the last 3 =
months of responding to COVID here in Perth.

Last mods included some reshaping of inlets and diffusers and tidying up =
the inlet manifold (grinding smooth some weld that had penetrated into =
the runners).

Yesterday our Renesis 4 port max fuel flow is up 10% to I think a =
reasonably accurate 18 gal/hr at 7100rpm, 29.5 inch of MAP and mixture =
at best power.
We burn our Australian Premium Unleaded with no Ethanol which I believe =
is 6.26 lb/gal so I=E2=80=99m thinking thats around 190hp.

Cheers

Steve

Maybe I should bite the bullet and order five (six) Stat-O-Seal =
washer/O-rings at $8.56 per pack of two. $25.68 total :(
