I"M looking to run stouch. I don't want to be mega rich... that means i'm losing power and not burning all the gases that i am dumping into the chambers. Would a Full MSD 6AL with cap and blaster coil help me burn at a less rich state?

Also does anyone know if it is common for single wire o2 sensors not to give a full cycle from lean to rich? thanks

I woudnt trust that gauge, its basicly a light show... If anything get an egt gauge or goto a dyno n get a wide band hooked up

factory Honda ignition is more then adequate for anthing allmotor, you need to get it tested with wide band o2 monitoring

ComatoseSedan is right. Invest in a VAFC and some dyno time with a wideband.

i've also found that that gauge is just a light show id say invest in a vafc also and go to the dyno
