The master fuel move was a quick fix to drop fuel across all zones.
I'll go back later and actually tune the car (my WBO2 sensor is dead
but I am trading headers with someone and won't mess with it for a few
weeks).

Driving technique got me from 20 MPG to 24 MPG. Pulling the SC and
dropping the master fuel (on a non-tuned rich car) got me from 24 to
30.5.

I've got 440s in the car now and wondering if I should go back to
stock injectors before I start tuning. I'd be able to sell the
expensive injectors (or use them in another project) and I'm thinking
the smaller injectors would have 4X the "resolution" of the larger
ones. I'm not sure if that will really help me with fine tuning or
not.
