you'll have to pardon me for not wanting to type a more descriptive long
winded email regarding this issue. Part of why im not big on internet forums
is the presumptuous &/or ignorant people people who want take things wrong
and run with it.

people, Giles doesnt just turn up the screw, and anyone alleging such
reveals ignorance innocently enough.

turning up the max fuel screw is not a good point and id really suggest
doing some homework before touching it. & if you do, remember exactly how
many fractions of a turn it moves so you can return to your baseline.

to emit enough pollutants through heavy pedal use to deprive someone behind
me of complete vision, would not only be difficult but irresponsible,,, you
know EGT's rise if youre going to floor it continuously? & even properly
tuned turbo-D's WILL spit smoke.

that said, I *have* shown a tailgating friend, ricer or 2 that riding my ass
isnt worth it.  something i practice routinely?. no, but i figured those
reading would be cognizant enough and have faculties of discernment in good
humor.  woops, guess not.
