Default RE: tuning by temp

Tune for performance, not temp. Even if it runs a bit hotter than manufacturer suggested. The manufacturer gives a baseline in order to protect itself, if we all followed this, we wouldn't be getting top performance from our engines. In most cases, especially with the cheaper engines, under 300 is fine, eg 280 is not doing any harm, as long as there is SMOKE which means the engine is being lubricated.
