Yes, I  typically find you can fatten up the EHA just a hair for better
peak  torque/HP...the cars usually come a touch lean from the  factory.

Ideally you want to be able to tune w/ a wideband O2 so you  know you're
not going too far..  However, that aside you can usually  pull the screw
off the back of the EHA and give the 2.5mm hex a 1 flat turn  to the right.

Thank you Jonathan,
"1  flat" or 30 degrees,  correct?

Hello Rick,

Each flat is 60  degrees (6 into 360) but going in 30 degree increments 
never  hurt!

a 5 wire O2... Far more  accurate/faster response then our run of the 
mill 3 wire..  When the  time comes I often swap out the 3 wire for a 4 
wire on our car...run the  extra ground to the negative battery terminal 
and your O2 will respond far  quicker.

Hi All, just an update and a  question. The following have committed to 
Aug. 25th for our picnic in  Memorial Park 

Brian Kludt
Rob Dent
Willard Treadway
Jorge  Barrera
David Cole ( in an earlier e mail)
Doug Gavin

I think  this is a great start for only a week into the process. I think 
we would  all like to at least double this number. I was hoping for at 
least 15  cars. Can we get others motivated to join us?

The question is of the 6  listed how many would like to take the drive 
out to the Niftee50ees car  show and display our cars. The organizers 
have asked me to keep them  posted. We would probably want to arrive at 
the parking lot of Kroger's at  Champions Forest and Spring Cypress  in 
NW Houston around 5:30 and I  think it will be a 35 to 45 minute drive. 
There are a few restaurants in  the Kroger's complex  if we wanted to get 
dinner.

I look  forward to your responses and again, any ideas from you for 
activities at  the picnic are  encouraged.

Doug

I will attend the picnic but will be unable to  attend the Niftee50ees car 
show. Thanks for your work.
