I don't copper spray it either.. They told me put it on dry..

I have the timing set at 23 for 40 psi and 24 for 30 and 34.

A/F is set for .80 Lambda which is 11.76 A/F

i use e85 for fuel....
Thanks for the info.
Hoping mine does better, I will now have the insert washers and my last set of Cometic's I did spray with copper and the results were worse then dry so that's what I will be doing this time.
Guess I am leaving a bunch on the table with 21 degrees at 21 psi and low 11's for A/F but I don't rev past about 5500 so I send more time near the torque peak.
