At 2000 rpm, little to no improvement. I think we could get by with a little less cam/spark at 1400 rpm since that tuning was done at 10°F, but no-one has tested that theory.

I'm sure gains would be much higher with a vehicle that doesn't have such a high load on it.
Interesting and useful information.

Lean-burn is poorly understood by the lay and your work supports much of what has been only postulated on this forum. Thanks again.
