lean doesn't equal performance increase though. only increased mpg.

 

Well. The performance increase was enough in a two stroke that you could make a good pass by leaning out the carb. But, as stated, you didn't want to do it too much for too long, otherwise you were treated to a sudden silence from your motor........ If I raced motocross at higher altitudes I had to increase the air jet size for the same reasons. I'm going to assume(at great risk, I know) that the same holds true for four stroke motors as well......

 

One more too good to be true claim.

 

AVgas worked great in my Corvair...120 octane if I remember correctly. Well for a few fill ups. Was fun while it lasted though. (I was 16)

 

Have you considered calling Crawford?

The owner (Quirt Crawford) is a Subaru tuning legend, and very friendly from what I've been told.

Couldn't hurt to ask them more questions directly IMO

Not a bad idea for the product I mentioned. Would like to know it's effect on engine life.
I DO know that he's no Scobie newbie. He has done cars for Ken Block and others, he's been around the block a few times......

 

Fooling the ECU is a bad idea. Even if this product works it is far from an ideal solution for performance gains. If you want more performance get a legitimate tune. I am surprised that a well known tuner would risk reputation by offering a product like this.

 

He put a full titanium rotating assembly in one of my friend's FR-S'

Heard nothing but good things about him and Crawford
