As Tony pointed out different RRs have different results...what I dont believe is that any RR would purposefully under read.....thats commercial suicide! Everyone claims to be accurate, but most over read to flatter their users and produce impressive figures to boast about.


Did you remove the heatshield on the A side manifold ? I was going to bin them and wrap but not to sure if it might be wiser to keep it .

I have removed all the heatshields except the one that sits on the bulkhead between the engine and passenger compartment.
