I was running my engine out today. I noticed that while I drove it the RPM didn't go as high anymore. It would stay down. Any help?
 
Last time a ran the car it was a little bit cooler. Today it was really hot, so that may have changed the engine temp. I checked it, is was 253 F. On a usual day it would be 220-225.
 
I ran my car the other day when the temperature is usual. The temperature was 223F. The RPM was still low, is it fine?

Can it also mean the engine is finally broken in? I thought I broke it in a long time ago... Good thing I never high revved over the time.
 
Could be that your engine is running richer than last time....

Did you have more smoke from your exhaust this time?
 
how was the throttle response compared to last time? I'd say the high speed needle needs to be lean just a bit. Remember to tune and make adjustments every time you go out for a run.
