I see that some have become frustrated with dtt and are bailing out. I see that you have a Gerolamy TB did you have that when you were getting better mileage? I ask that in that I just bought one of those on ebay and have been thinking of trying it out, it came with 5.5 gm/s injectors which are larger than any I have tried before. On your engine build have you measured your quench squeeze above your pistons, mine is about .040 I was wanting .030 but could not come up with the right head gasket for the job. From what I have been reading on this form that is important to control pinging.
If you ever find that guide I would be interested in a copy.

I have had the Gerolamy on since the rebuild to 95" but I am using the stock injectors. If you use it adjust it to be closed when cold just so the plates don't stick.

My quench is at .040 for the same reason. I have heard of a lot of guys having spark knock with .030 quench.
