[TABSTER]

Here is a little 411 for all. I found this info on another awesome site.

Just a little side note: As in the pictures the proper firing plug color along with a fine white ring around the edge of the center electrode is the ideal firing plug..... You can use magnifying glasses to really get technical about this.

The best way to get the sled runing great is my tried and true method. Keep leaning it out till you get a coating of Aluminum on spark plug replace melted part or parts then jet up one stage two stages if you are a chicken works every time but can get a little pricey. While its apart you might as well do more mods and repeat the tuning untill you get it right or your broke. I know some of you use this method or is it just me.

JET ONCE, REBUILD TWICE, RIGHT??? IS THAT IT??? NOPE, NEVER DONE IT, NOT EVEN IN THE RACE CARS........BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:d

Not everyone has the aluminum coated hardware mounted to a plaque on their shop wall - more chickens than those willing to boldly go where no man wants to - gotta know where 'the edge' is though right????

Add the 50% race fuel, adjust the superjets watch the gauges and pray she don't burn down. Punch the throttle and hang on.
