AFR was for the most part around 11.4 to one. But, I want to lean her out just a tad more.

plugs are almost impossible to read online with blurry point-and-shoot cam photos. With a good SLR and macro lense, you could maybe get decent enough photos to see.

Looks like the band on the strap is a little high, which means it's running a little hot, but it looks close enough to the middle to me. From what I can see, the color looks pretty good overall

I probably snapped 50 pics and picked out the best three to post.

I'm not sure what the stock gap is supposed to be but I gapped my HKS m45's to .023 and they were smaller.
