How hard does that thing chop? What idle speed do you have it set at? I will be using a 257/266 on a 110 lsa and I am getting anxious. I was told it is going to chop real hard. I was thinking of an idle around 650-700 if it will stay running at that low of an idle. Thanks for the input.

probably not going to idle it that low, i would say around a 1000. just make sure you got a top notch tuner, and he should be able to dial it in for you. not going to have alot of vaccum either, so be prepared.
