[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 227156, member: 4617"] Since this is a theoretical discussion, you could get into the OEM ignition control module. What's in it don't know. The GL1200 ignition control module is probably less complicated than the OEM ECU for my '85 Limited Edition FI model. The basis for this discussion is a theoretical replacement. Many change OEM ECUs for aftermarket, inexpensive units without having access to a dyno and do not destroy their engines. Trying to modify a carb to get better performance when all you are doing is changing the amount of fuel flow into the engine, and after this, not having the ability to change the timing characteristics is, in my opinion, a lot of work for no real return. More or less fuel with the same engine timing profile could also be considered an accident waiting to happen. This theoretical discussion is not to achieve a change in the OEM design intent - might happen, but to have a replacement alternative should the ignition control module go south for whatever reason. A new replacement for the OEM ignition control module may very well provide much better performance and still be within the OEM design intent. This thread is also about the realm of possibility. Dreams never die, just the dreamer. Cheers [/QUOTE]
