Finally time to start tuning!

@Dana

I will get into the carb today. Got rained out to test and had other stuff I had to do yesterday.

I have played with the idle mix quite a bit, but haven't had a helper to adjust it in gear. It's pretty good, but probably tweak on it a little more.

My main concern with the AFR is the high 10's/low 11's on the main circuit on the highway and WOT. I am not strictly chasing AFR numbers, but that seems pretty rich. I am wondering how much that is affecting power. I need to get it to the strip, but want to get it closer and get familiar with what each change does first.
I may get a chance to run it the weekend after next, so I need to get it as ready as I can.
I wish I had the cash to go stick it on a chassis dyno for a day with a Mopar small block and carb expert, but highly doubt I'll ever get a chance to do that. I guess I'll have to learn to do it
myself, so I appreciate you guy's advice and patience.


I took it on a 200mi round trip last weekend and burnt about $50 in gas at $3/gal. That's about 12mi/gal, but that also included some freeway blasts and one good burnout, so milage is not much worse than I expected. I got 14 on one trip before, but that's the best so far.
