This is a project my students just completed for their Senior Design.

It uses a Propeller to monitor Head and Exhaust temp and adjust the needle valve (air-to-fuel mixture) in real time to optimize performance.

Here is a video I posted

    NIce project! How much faster was it?

    I know someone who has nitro on his motorbike (the same model as mine). He only turns it on when he needs some extra power, of course.

    Normally I would say this should go in the Completed Projects Forum, and I will move it there if you can attach code, schematics and pictures.
