My Electroair Experience
 
For what it's worth, I run an Electroair as the right mag and a Slick 4371 impulse mag on the left on a IO-360 parallel valve. The electroair is a 1995 vintage and still going strong after 600 hours. With the EI, I can lean to about 50 LOP and the engine runs smooth, it costs me about 8-10 knots in cruise but I save at least 1 GPH depending on altitude. The best fuel flow I've seen was cruising at 13,500 on a cold day, running 50 LOP, 160 KTAS, burning 6.8 GPH! I can routinely get 7.1-7.5 GPH at 50 LOP with the EI. Back when I had 2x Slick mags, I could not even get to 20 LOP without roughness and best fuel flow I could get was around 8 GPH.

Steve,

I bought Jeff Roses 3rd system back in the early 90's and it's still running on my RV4 2000 hours later. Two other systems are running great on my HR2 and my RVX, I have had nothing but great success and support from the current owners. I have always used a 1 Mag/1 EI setup using automotive Autolite 386 or Denso L-14U plugs which are cheaper to replace than clean and thread right in the existing hole. 5HP noticeable gain and 1 GPH decrease in fuel burn, a win-win.

Great Product, highly recommended...
