Dang it, first problem appears with the revo.
#13
All I gotta say Tune is.......lean it more. Those motors like 280-300F. I ran my 2.5 for 5 gallons at 300F and it ran sweet. Smallblock motors run hotter than big blocks, it's a known fact.

Heres a short story. Rich was having power problems at Leisure when his revo was fairly new. He was running TRX 33% in the 2.5R at the time. I said "let me tune it" and he said "sure". When I was done it was rippin' balls all over the place and when I temped it, it said 287F. Moral of the story is those motors like it hot. (for good performance anyway).

Heres a question for you Tune, would you rather get 8 "slow" gallons, OR 5 "fast" gallons through the motor? Just as an example.
