    Orange County GS850 Carb Sync?

    Greetings All, I have been thinking about getting a manometer for doing carbs. Is the one that Z1 offers for $50.00 and the carbtune set up mentioned here the same? If not who offers the carbtune, which one is easier to use and what adapters are needed(Z1 offers 3 sets). Thanks, Andy

    Reg/Rec.../project...
