Default Re: AFR tuning

I’ll check which PVs I have and order them one step smaller.
I’ll also try cutting back on my timing a bit just to see what happens.....it does “feel” right....we’ll see where the numbers fall.
I’m keeping an accurate log of all of this. I’ll change one thing at a time and log the results.
Thanks all so much

A lean mixture need more timing, and gives better fuel economy. The best carb for this type of tuning is the Edelbrock 500CFM 4bl. With this carb you can cruise AF in the hi 15 and still have a 13 on acceleratoration.
