Somehow we need a guide that would say if you are getting 'x' mpg stock and 'x' CFM of air you need 'x' LPM hydro for max efficiency. That is probably why they work with air/fuel ratio but the average person doesn't have the tools to monitor whether you are at 14:1 or whatever. I'm rambling here so I'll shut up but leave with on last question, have you ever seen a chart that lists - MPG - CFM & best LPM to make it burn efficient ?
You suggested I just install the dry cell and see how it runs, the reason I'm still bench testing is I have a working wet cell in my truck and I want to see what the max LPM I can tweak out of this dry cell before swapping. It is much easier on the bench than in the cramped engine compartment.
Thanks for your input.
