. If you remember I do not have coolant temp reading right now, so I closely monitored the oil temp and kept the run short, but I was curious as to what I could run it up to. Thanks again.

Just a guess but sounds like noise or result of very long cable = runs on=20 the RPM readings. Many possible fixes.

Carefully read the auto tune instructions. Yes, the = adjustments=20 happen slowly. Very Important! This is not Not = Pn'P! =20 Did you follow the instructions to setup Mode 3 (injector flow rate) = BEFORE=20 doing any other tuning? Sounds like it's setting might be a bit = high for=20 your installation (no 2 are alike so far).

What's normal for static RPM? There is no normal. = Depends on=20 your prop, gear ratio, manifold tuning, what you are trying to = optomize, etc,=20 etc. Got any numbers on the prop? Could give a SWAG if we = knew=20 that. 5500 rpm is generally enough to make takeoff power=20 though.

Hey Chris, just had a thought. Wouldn't ask for free legal = advice=20 but how about swapping some for EC2 /EM2 advice :>)

Ok, I know I have read about this = somewhere,=20 but not sure where or what I read means, but I finally ran my engine = up to=20 full power and was wondering what kind of numbers I should be = seeing.=20

Even though I had some intermentant = wire issue=20 (SUPRISE) in that as I got over about 4500 rpm the rpm = would flash in=20 the hundreds and then go to zero. When I throttled back = to below=20 4500 ish, the reading came back. This happened a few times.=20

However, later when I did = it, the readings=20 were better and I was able to run the rpm up to about 5500 rpm = at full=20 power on the Mistral Intake (so about 2534 rpm at the prop). = It seem=20 to reach full rpm at about 3/4 (to 4/5) of full throttle and then = mostly=20 stablized. Sounded smooth even though I am still running = rich. =20 It seems to run much better with the mixture at about 9 oclock and = bogs as I=20 bring it to the noon position. In auto tune it seems to = be=20 trying to lean but kinda slow and if I try to keep it at the 12 = oclock=20 position it seems too rich, so I think I will need to do some = manual=20 leaning and then go back to the autotune. I am idleing pretty = smoothly=20 at about 1000 rpm.

Is this RPM range acceptable? = Is this=20 good; bad? What should I expect? I was nervous to run it = up like=20 this, but I just kept telling myself that I am not gonna be throwing = a rod=20 or blowing a jug <g>. If you remember I do not have = coolant temp=20 reading right now, so I closely monitored the oil temp and kept the = run=20 short, but I was curious as to what I could run it up to. = Thanks=20 again.
