Status: offline 		Ok so i took the cover off my car (Xtreme). I drove it around and i did the water test. The water went away after like 3 seconds so i richened it. Then i remembered on every tuning guide it said if the water sizzled and went away quickly it was to lean. But it sizzled after i richend it and it took like 6 seconds to go away. My point is is that it is literaly imposibly for water to go away without sizzleing if it goes away in like 5 seconds. I then had an idea to get a temperature reader that says weather your meat is rare or well done but it also says the temp.. I got a reading of about 190 but u always need to add like 5 degrees to the temperature. So i was right in the ball park temp wise but i still dont no if im rich or lean.. The low end needle is fine but i decided to make a video so u can here how it is running and how it sounds.. What i need from u is wat should i put in the video so u can get the best idea of how it is. Im not promising ill get it in but depending on the feed back determines weather i make a video or not.. If i do ill edit the and post the link to view it on.

Thank You

Status: offline 		I stuck a meat temp thing in 1 of the 4 holes on the cooling head. It didnt work so good im not sure if the temp was broken or what because it didnt go above 180. No matter how hot it was. But im gunna get a different meat temp some where in my house and try it.

Status: offline 		If your running at 190 your to cool. You should be around 210-230. You should be able to lean it up a bit. The spit test says if the spit deappears right away your to hot. If it sizzles then goes away after 3-5 seconds you should be fine. If you make a video make sure we can see the exhaust side of the car. We will be looking for a smoke plume at all rpms of the motors range. Hope this helps.
