That makes sense. I can see how that would lengthen the injection event. He set them up based on the timing I'm running with the KSB spacer from M&H Inc. but other than the pop-pressure and spray angle, I don't know exactly how they were set up. I made sure to tell him that my base/static timing is stock though. I dunno what to think, really. I thought I'd notice a slight increase in power at least but I think all I got was more smoke. I don't wanna be an attention grabber for the authorities either.

the 4-10 numbers on the top are the number of holes... the .005-.025 numbers on the side are hole sizes... just find where the 2 numbers cross for your injectors and thats your total cross section area.

Thanks, I know how to use the chart. This may be a dumb question but what exactly is the cross section area?

I need to sit down with someone much smarter than I and pick their brain about all the fine parts of tuning. All I do is turn a few bolts and pray it made more power. Win some loose some miliage.

Cross-sectional area of the holes the fuel is spraying out of.

Pi*Radius(squared)*Number of holes.

So for 5x.012's it would be...

3.14 * .006(squared) * 5
