    Nitro tuning is hard!

    Hey mate, great job, you have made it run good! You hear, at the end when you stop the car, the idle hangs high, then drops to a second stage idle, this is when the LSN takes over. Your true idle is actually when you let go of the throttle. Lean the LSN a bit more, until idle stays high and...
