...ok Trot, and if it's "glowing" is that good or bad? rich or lean?
I'm surprised that Trotter has not told you to trash the FuelPak?
If the FP does not allow you to add fuel at 0% throttle - you will not prevent blueing. Pipes will run red hot at idle. I'm not a tuner - but read my previos post - based on experience....

DFO= Digital Fuel Optimizer, it's a piggyback setup for the injectors and it basically widens the firing impulse, allowing more fuel to the mix. It's only for managing fuel input, it will not adjust your timing or fuel delivery to each cylinder. There are basic settings and the owner can adjust accordling by resetting different "pots" Also known as TFI's or elecronic jet kits, works for me for what I'm looking for.
