But seriously...Carby tuning is a black art, and the people who can do it well are very rare and talented...To be honest, I find ECU tuning 100x easier to understand, as far as idle speed, cold start, temperature variation, intake air velocity, etc etc...all these things are laid out infront of you with an ECU...with a carby, you're running on instinct...when you tune it on a 30degree day there's no easy way to know if it'll start on a cold morning...or run at high altitudes...or any other of a hundred things. So my hat goes off to the guys who know carbs well enough to tune them for any situation...

Oh...and my car goes in tomorrow for a tune...if all goes well. Can't wait to see the results!
