Fuel Settings with Pulley
Well, as I was figuring out the tunnel mode for you guys today, I decided to set my fuel setting back to base. I previously had it on stage 2. Buellwinkle, I know you did this recently.
But I was just wondering where pulley owners have them set. If you haven't changed it, then you are on base.
For those on base setting, any problems? I drove about 10 miles with it so far, and I couldn't really "feel" any gain in power. But it certainly didn't lose power. Buell, how is yours doing? Still on base? Do you get better gas mileage this way?
I think I will leave it on base for a while unless there is a good reason not to. It seems that even Kleemann has said that this is okay and it only runs lean at idle and WOT, right?
Thanks.

When I dynoed the car a few weeks after I installed the pulley, the car was running quite lean on normal crusing speed (I believed it was 13.9:1) and richer during WOT (12.9:1). The measurement was taken at the exhaust tips.
That was on base setting, now I've got my car running at stage 2, can't really tell if there's any power loss, but I felt that my car just slightly more responsive...maybe I'm just bias coz of the fuel setting change.
