Talking Update for Wolf and Alex

OK.
Get rid of cyclic valve.
Got the other thing installed (MBC).

Now, first, almost 12psi drops to 11 at far end of revs.
2nd, 14 psi, drops to about 12.
3rd, 15 psi, drops to 14 at 5000 rpm (I pussed out, damn speed limits).

Now, the interesting part...
4th gear... I get 16psi. Which is scary, so I'll stay out of it, the MBC is adjusted to full MINIMUM. Hmm...

The more interesting part... In 5th gear, I am at 15 PSI!!! BEFORE! 3000 rpm!!!


So, I'm happy with it for now, until I blow it up anyway :P

Still idles high when hot, but runs better
I had a broken line at the cyclic valve.

Anyway I'm on the way to the Tail of the Dragon to see SR944!!! cya :P

I need to figure out something...
I get just over 16psi in fourth, and I get 17psi in 5th.
I can't go heavy throttle in fourth or fifth I'm scared I'm going to kill the head gasket. Sounds like its probably time for 3.0bar FPR and a A/F ratio gauge... :P

BTW - tail of the dragon = fun, with hiccups (more on this later :P)
