Timing advance sounds easy enuf. Do I need to do any other stuff to work with this or is this just a extra? I was going to do the fuel screw turn in a turn or 2 and play with the other adjustments. Unless you say otherwise !!

Keep up the great work . Cant wate to see this thing done!
Yes, I'd use 2 solenoids to keep from over heating the solenoids since they can be left on for a duration of time. The reason they use 2 is so each grid has it's own power supply, and they didn't want them to be on a long time. So with having a seperate sol per grid, each grid will heat quicker faster. There are 2 grids in the intake horn, they are side by side.

For more power, a 3k gov spring really helps, adjust your afc on your IP, and make sure you have a good lift pump. These will make good power with very little money being spent.
