So, are everyone's eyes still burning from the MFI on my 2.4 "T"? True to form, the MFI pumps more fuel through the thing than it can burn. I actually started out quite lean on the first run, with the A/F right at 14:1. I fattened up the top end a bit and got it down to 13.2:1 on the second run, and finally got it to 12.5:1 after one more tweak on the third run.

The HP numbers were identical to last year at 133 RWHP. Torque was up a whopping 4 ft lbs at 140 compared to 136 last year. Last year I ran it absolutely dead stock in every respect. This year I had the sport muffler on it. I have now seen two early cars run with stock two in / single out mufflers and sport mufflers; my car and Brooke's 2.2 "S". Neither one had an appreciable gain in power comensurate to all the additional noise. So, while they sound cool, they appear to do nothing to increase performance.
