Plugs are cheaper than replacing headgaskets, and there AIN'T NO FAST/EASY 
way to do a calibration right.

I's still the leader of the pointy hat set here, and just trying to share 
WHAT I"VE ALREADY done wrong.

100's if not 1000's of hours of actual test driving new calibrations used to 
be involved.  My data about some of the work is 5 years old now, but it had 
lots of room for drivers input, alsong with EPA mandates.

Run the injectors calculated for what you think you need, at the right PW, 
and pressure for starters, with a lame amount of timing, and then the first 
few runs will show where ya need to head.
