He's right glen, the early q's go lean as you appoach 300hp.......  The 5ktq
can go about 320 or so (I'm running lean BTW) with the stock system on full
rich......  I'm not convinced that ned has played with all the available
parameters in the fuel dist and injectors, he's more inclined to get you into
a euro-box.....  Which is the way to go, but the bux are high......  I have
memorized the fuel system on the CIS cars, and can tell you that control
pressure, and the lambda circuit are the first two places to get more
fuel.....

You can use FPR for control pressure too........

Good post.....
