Edgar shuts his down immediately after every pass to check his plugs

I think that Matt is referring to shutting it off after you cross the line as Quick was stating. I know alot of hardcore racers that do this and coast into the pits.

Heck, they even do it in Nascar when testing. They'll shut it down just after turn 2 and coast all the way around to the pits. I just never really knew the exact reasoning, only that it was a commonly used practice.

That's what Edgar does.

I just don't like the sound of it. I've heard of full-throttle, then check plugs for rich-lean, but it sounds scary to me pass after pass... Certainly not good for a turbo car for obvious reasons.

Exaclty what ER said, I do that on both of my cars not just to check plugs, but oil control.

its also easier on the valve train, etc, they are already taking a beating goin down the track why let them take more of a beating slowing the car down.

AFR is not a problem for me. I have a LM1 wideband and the TwEECer. I have the AFR set for where I need it depending on the weather conditions.
