Bill, can you give a little more detail on exactly how you are saving =
the gallon per hour?
Are you saying you try to peg a certain speed and magically fuel flow is =
less with the emag?  or what are you holding constant.

My thought was that if you are running LOP, the spark, any spark, starts =
the wave front and you run out of fuel/air mixture to burn before the =
exhaust valve opens anyway.  Am I wrong?
