Seems they only charge $1000 for an education on 520,s, 550's turboed, etc. But nothing specific for us wee guys with 320/360's. Then I went to the Far West Aviation web site for info on their power whiz wheel - not useful because it doesn't represent my engine characteristics. I have performed the GAMI lean test although I don't know what the power setting I was using at the time because I can't calculate the engine HP let alone the thrust HP. I still don't have a "calculator" for HP. The lean test showed I have made the right adjustments and the individual peak cylinder fuel flows are balanced close enough. Of course, I am using the VM EPI 800 for temp measurements - that means the computer jumps in 8F steps and displays in 10F steps. Ugh. If anyone can help: I/O 320 with ECI TITAN Cylinders Front mounted throttle body with max ram air rise at 200 Kts. Fine Wire plugs Lasar Electronic Ignition (IO 360 Map), 20F higher CHT, 70-80F cooler EGT 9:1 pistons Ram air fed shrouded .22 dia. injectors 15.4 gph at 2700 rpm (takeoff WOT power @ 700 ft msl), ram air negligible.
