Hi Paul,

You're right about what you say, but I don't = think that=20 half of your fuel will be much better than none.  I'm guessing the = rotor=20 would be so lean that it wouldn't fire = anyway.
 
With Tracy's unit, you can install disable = switches=20 (and if you're smart you will when you're wiring the EC-2 = <g>).  When=20 you disable one set of injectors, the cpu knows it, and will take the = proper=20 action, which is really a sweet feature. =
 
If your in cruise, and all 4 injectors are = running, it=20 will double the fuel pulse to the two injectors that you didn't = disable. =20 That way, you will have normal fuel flow, up to the point where your two = injectors run out of flow.  This will still get us into the high = cruise=20 range, but maybe not WOT at sea level.  =
 
If you're at low throttle, and disable the = ones that=20 weren't on anyway, nothing happens.  If you're at low throttle and = disable=20 the ones that were on, it turns the others on=20 instead. 
 
Any of that makes=20 sense?
