Default ??? for those with ECS Alky System

For those who simply added the Alky as a safety buffer without retuning....

Did you change the nozzle size?

Did you change any settings on the PAC?

Approximately how far do you have the gain control **** set?

I have had the kit on my car for about a year without a retune. I initially got it to allow me to squeeze a little more out of my setup but now have decided I want to use the alky to help keep the block alive on the current tune until september when I will mod for approx 700rwhp (forged block, H/C etc....)

Anything past 1/4 turn on the gain **** results in a noticeble and unpredictable performance reduction.... I have been wondering would I be better off going to a smaller nozzle and crank up the gain? Thoughts

Thanks!

Have it start spray at the same time but reduce the initial spray volume.

The single nozzle kit comes with a 15 nozzle, I can send you a #10 in exchange for N/C. That way it will spray a finer mist anyway. When we tune a stock shortblock S/C car, we tend to keep it rich already for safety, so adding the alky would make that even more prodominate. Let me know if we can help in any way.
