turned up fuel today
well i turned my pump up about 1/2-1 flat, and i cant really tell that it smokes any more, but it seems to have a little more throttle response and i can take off in second gear easier and it seems to make my pyro that i dont trust move to 350-400 quicker

didnt get to drive it much just up to the end of the road and back, which was just enough room to wind 1st and just hit the rev limit in 2nd and the pyro touched 400 then i let off and turned in the drive way

yea, one flat probably wont hurt that much now that i think about it. 400 does sound about right for being wide open in 2nd.
