Default anal...

Yeah, I'm anal.

But the reason why I am doing all of this is because my car is a daily driver and I need it to be in the best working order so I can put my supercharger back on.

I put a 195* t-stat on and it runs great. Juiceman, the original reason behind all this is that number 5 was fouling after only a couple of hours of use.
I haven't checked number 5 in a couple of days, but the motor isn't missing at all.

It still is very rich at startup. Yeah, I know the 02's don't work until the motor warms up a little. But it's rich beyond that point. I haven't replaced the 02's yet, b/c I wanted to see how the t-stat affected things.

Today, 02's...and a peek at number 5. Might sneek in a dyno run today.

After pulling the heads, I can't believe it's starting to look like mostly a fuel problem...
