It seems a lot of manual guys went with an m2.Richie O wrote:My 89 smokes a good puff at no boost with the stock pin. I really need to get grinding. I like my M2 pin in the 93. It really allows alot of fine tuning with the afc that you don't get with a stock cone.

I clamped a vicegrips on the pin, marked the deepest part of the pin, above where I wanted to grind, and used a sidegrinder with a new cutting wheel in the other hand, and smoothly ground the top half of the profile. You can always add more mid fuel later. Try to stay straight with the deep part when grinding to get the most out of your pin. Both of mine are ground thinner than1/16th of an inch. It takes very little pressure, so take your time. Lube it with motor oil, slap it in, and enjoy! 2nd one I did took me 10 minutes.. Oh, and I've seen the dyno video too, and the "ground"stock pin had more meat left in it yet.

On mine I just ground out the very top of the ramp and left the bottom half alone. It's pretty much factory then as it gets to the top there's a nice drop for it.
I also went over mine with 200-ish grit sandpaper after I ground it to really smooth it out. I just sanded on it until I couldn't catch my fingernail on any of the visible marks.
