You're heading in the right direction, looking @ your fuel log. |
my goal with a restrictor plate is not to limit
my power use, rather the engines output and consumption.
I am also not trying to reduce pumping losses, this is just adding more restrictions in hopes it might trick the MAF that the engine needs less fuel. Although testing is required.
