Engine Thrust: Is it the only factor?
The ignition I currently have is a Falkon, but an earlier version. I received a new ignition from ZDZ, a couple of days ago. When I have a chance, I'll install it and see how it runs.
The temp on your 80 is 250-275? That sounds quite high. I've heard to keep the temps below 200. My 3W100 runs around 165, from what I can remember.
Of course, if you are running it on a test stand, that would explain the higher temps.
