Brief Description:  Some long awaited changes happen now!

The guys over at UL Power have a few screws loose when it comes to aviation. They are all auto guys. Fun. Anyways, No one to date has actually connected their ECU Pressure sensor to the intake manifold even though UL offers a dual banjo fitting option for it. Strange. Well, like everything else in this airplane, I'll be the test pilot here.
Rewind...If you remember several months ago, on the ill advise of Robert Helms, I installed a nipple forward of my throttle body to connect a hose to the ECU for this very reason. Then he all of a sudden changed his mind on it. Had no clue what he was talking about. Well since then I've consulted with a few people who actually have experience with this mod and they all recommended I connect it using the UL Power dual banjo option. Glad I ordered it when I did.
Ok, so this means removing the single banjo fitting on the intake manifold that goes to the Fuel Pressure regulator and installing the dual fitting. Then connecting a second hose from the banjo fitting to the ECU. I have a hunch that this will produce more power and better throttle response due to the more precise mixture that will be achieved. I would be ecstatic if it cured the stuttering issues as well.
The second thing I decided to finally tackle was to heat up my forward cylinders that are still a good 30 degrees below the others. In fact, the lower temps were causing the plugs to foul as I noticed when removing the plugs for the annual a couple days ago. The plugs that were clean were from #3 and #4 which are also running in the 290 range in cruise. Ideally, I want to get all cylinders to 300 in cruise. To do this I've added a section of Carbon BID to the intake of the plenums. I'm not expecting an instant fix but the temps are getting better with each mod.
