Kinda interesting reading here.... I have two Pyrometers on the Race car
... # 1&2 cylinders.... and it amazes me how many folks ask me why I care
about exhaust gas temp....
I also just aquired an old Race pac computor.... and am looking forward to
installing it...
actually don't know what Info I want out of it yet... oughta be fun to
figure out though...
