Confusing Dyno results
First some history: I had dyno'd at 397 SAE RWHP and 524 RWTQ, wanted to join the 400/500 club. I added electric fans and finally changed from stock plugs to NGK TR-6 plugs gapped at .038". With the same chip and mods plus fan/plugs I dyno'd at 390/509 SAE RW. And now my A/F ratio is lean. It starts out at 13:1 and only drops to 12.6 at 5,200 rpm. This is with the same chip that gave me a 12:1 to 11.5:1 A/F ratio earlier.
What's going on here?

Remember you always want to run as wide a gap as possible without it blowing out........more flame front on the plug will yield a more complete combustion in the cylinder.

I kinda agree with that however, I found that with a colder plug you could keep the gap a bit wider.

I plan to gap mine at .034 (TR6s) with my 4# and 50-75 shot of nitrous.
