Have you got an adjustable FPR that you could turn up a bit Andy?

I have actually, good point Dunc. Although that will make it richer at idle, where it is already sat at 11:1 :roll:

Gems should be worth a few bob to someone on S/net :roll:

Good luck. Hope it's ready for next month so you can chase Mr. Blackmore.

I cant imagine why! A helpful distributor is going to provide an intermediate solution while I gather the bits to get it onto ESL.

Its as much the mapping as the ECU chap, but tbh I'm unimpressed with both, the drive quality with OEM is a different league.

Fair enough, was a reasonable option for me last year, as i didn't want a Power FC with the MAF issues.

A Gems should net you circa
