I'd really like to know what others are seeing for MAP at idle from 800 RPM to ~2000 RPM.
I can't seem to get below about 15inches Hg.
Would any of you guys who have flown or have smooth running engines at idle please respond with what your normal MAP vs RPMs are for the low end around idle.
I have a TWM DCO 48mm throttle body and a short Atkins manifold.
Thanks,
Jim

At 2000 I'm seeing a 13.1 MAP reading.  Seems low to
me.  Is it? That puts it below the stage point, yet when I turned off the primary injectors, it
continued to run; just rougher.  Same effect turning off the secondaries.
