I have experimented quite a bit with the Idle Eze. With both transfer slots at .020 like a square, the car would not idle at 16, 18 or 20* initial no matter how far out I went with the Idle Eze. So I set the Idle Eze at the default setting of 1.5 turns out and went in on the primary idle screw about 1/2 turn. It now idles fairly smooth at 1000 rpm.

I also tried running it with the Idle Eze closed (Don Gould and a couple others offline said that I didn't have enough cam to benefit from it and to close it) but the problem then was an unstable idle.
