I'll telln you a trick for a quick 17 hp. Make sure coolant system works good as this will tempoary shut off the guage.Locate the coolant sensor near thermost. Unplug cut the red wire and fit a 1k ohm resistor or you can go higher until it pings then back down one.you could also run a swicth. I use 1 .1 k at the track when out of NOS.I gained .4 sec.
