New engine build thoughts

I like where you are going. Not sure what intake it is that you have, but I know moving the nozzles up from the intake rail makes more power. Don’t know what you have for and idle check spring, but as the nozzles move away from the valve, you have to up the idle fuel pressure to keep the idle clean.

Are you using all Ron’s stuff, like the barrel valve, by pass and stuff like that?

I haven’t been using a bypass since the engine rarely went over 6200. Probably will be using one this year though. Was running 29 nozzle jets with an 82 pill. I put my nozzles about an inch above the end of the intake runner per their instructions. It’s just a Weiand Xcellerator intake I did a port match job on. I have my doubts that a high rise intake like a Victor would change much since it’s already spraying fuel directly on the valves.
