Thanks for reporting the numbers.

I've had this scope handy in the garage, and for years grabbed it to better understand what engine management was doing. Most of that time, I also had this relatively inexpensive multimeter, completely oblivious to its "duty cycle" setting. Once I did discover it, I got a chance to verify its accuracy, and be impressed by what a $30 DMM can do these days.

Having some numbers for a performing car could help many others who don't have old tach-dwell meters kicking around but do have access to one of these inexpensive multi-function digital meters.

As you can imagine, a number like 3.8 - 4.0% is much easier to compare and communicate with other DIYers than poorly documented scope traces.
