Flew my Turbo Lance for about an hour for the first time since March 1 on the initial engine break-in run. This is a factory rebuilt engine. I ran it pretty hard most of the time, varying the MP, rpm's & fuel flow some to see what the effect would be. I was very happy with all the engine parameters. I did extensive work on the engine baffles & it seems to have payed off well in helping to control the temps. The one discrepancy I have is the mismatch in fuel flow readings between the oem gauge & the JPI monitor. I believe the JPI to be on the money because it has always been nuts on with it's calculations of fuel burn. The oem gauge used to match up well with my previous engine but not now. I'm attaching a couple of pics taken yesterday with the same engine settings. Anyone have some ideas about this? Thanks! David
