2. modify your rev limiter, so that it doesn't start cutting off your fuel @3000rpm, and lets you get full fueling all the way to your rev limit before cutting off the fuel.
Both create a big improvement in driveability, and preheating the oil will save you a LOT of engine damage (coking of injectors& combustion chamber, lubricating oil turning int sludge, etc)
Interesting ideas, I will have a look and see if they would work (I know you can adjust the fuelling rack so that it doesn't lean out as much higher in the rev range)

Not changed anything on the fuelling side yet - no leaks so leaving well alone ( apart from possible fuel filter changes
