Subject: Injector location.

Acts like an accelerator pump on a carburetor. This is worth it
if you fly 50 hours a year and you are burning 10 gallons an hour
that is $1000 dollars a year in fuel cost. If the BFSC is 5% better
than you will almost pay for it in the first year and your range
will be 5% further.

I wonder if 5% a reasonable expectation?

For what it's worth, we are probably only talking about a stumble, if
anything.  I think you would be safe with the injectors here.

If nothing else, just having the wires and injectors opposite the exhaust
would be a good thing.

Thanks Todd. I needed a little encouragement on this R&D project. Sheeesss!
Jim Mederer told me it was better but how much better I don't remember.
