I have seen one put out by Electronics International but haven't a clue as to accuracy, ease of installation, etc. Or perhaps there is a way to make the stock system more accurate(?).

A little more expensive than the EI, but very popular.

The JPI FS-450 has worked very well for me, great accuracy and features. When I bought mine two years ago it was only $450.00. They're over $700.00 now, so I wouldn't wait if you really want one.

Actually got a 337 approved to remove the existing fuel pressure gauge and the wet line in the cockpit and use the FPL5 as the primary pressure gauge. You can adjust the K factor of the unit a few flights to obtain near perfect results. For example, the FPL5 is routinely within 2 - 3 tenths of a gallon to actual fuel consumed.

At the Lycoming tent, they had a mock-up of a roller cam for the O360. The really sweet thing about Lycoming making it avialable (they can machine your engine case to fit the new lifters) is that a roller cam can be made to put out all sorts of horsepower or torque at any rpm or for any range you want. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:47:59 PM PST US From: "Steven Jackson" Subject: RE: TeamGrumman-List: Roller cam for Lycomings --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Steven Jackson" I was up there looking for the Lycoming tent and didn't find it. Of course, I also had on shorts and was driving, so not enough beer to calm the shivers and help me concentrate... -----Original Message----- From: owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of TeamGrumman@AOL.COM Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Roller cam for Lycomings --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com I went to the Reno Air Races this last weekend.
