No that's HP / cyl.  or about 28 lbs per hr at .5

Not really.  .45 alot takes work

> (24 * .9) / 56.25 = .384 (which is probably also dooable).

Only .38s I seen accurately reported were bikes DOHC 4 valve per cyl..  And
again by the best tuners

Nope,  bet ya it's about having enough correction with out major BL ? Int
numbers to go for the EPA testing.  Last thing they'd so is risk motors over
radiators.  Also, richer is alot cheaper warranty wise then lean.
Grumpy

  Mine was not lean enough to be
