But to maximize the effectiveness of those techniques you need some instrumentation like an Ultragauge or Scangauge.
yeah I figured that was the biggest one - I'll be working on slowing down... I saw the page on the Scangauge and @ the price ($150)!! the ultra gauge looks better because of the price ($60), but what's the difference? is the scan gauge really that much better?
