Your really playing with the mixture which only works on a street vehicle if you disable the O2 sensor or go far enough out if it's corrective range to maintain control. Dennis

Recalling some trips to the dyno with a P-car I remember my engine guy getting significant power increases using an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and tweeking the pressure between runs...I think it probably had something to do with the spray pattern as influenced by the fuel pressure? Has anyone messed about with that on a VW motor? I recall getting 20-40hp (on a 400hp motor,) but on a 100hp Van motor...it might be 4-5...enought to bother with. Don Hanson |
