Just wanted to give a big thanks to this forum.

Got a new PB 72mpg on the Talon this year and learned a ton from these last three mpg tests.

1) New mpg injectors that I modified, and flow tested pay off tons.
2) Waste-Solvent plays a major key to atomization due to its RVP.
3) Dialed these last set of pistons in that have a lower static compression than the last three sets. Now I know what the engine wants at 1psi worth of boost to get the ultimate effective compression and more importantly the correct cylinder pressure at the correct crank angle.
4) The adjustment on the Nitrous system to be able to control each cylinder's flow individually paid off. In max lean-burn the nitrous helps a lot to speed up flame speed. The pre-chamber helps with flame speed at max lean-burn but still can only increase flame speed so much.

So now it's time to pull the engine out and trans plant it into the Camaro.
Then I'm going to sell the Talon without the engine so I can get more focused on the Camaro.
