I have a stock bottom end 318 with a 340 cam, ld4b intake, 2" dual exhaust from the manifolds back with an H pipe and a 600cfm edelbrock performer carburetor. Its got the stock jets and metering rods and stuff. I have a jet/metering rod kit for it but, Its my first time tuning a 4 barrel so I don't know where to start even.
She runs pretty good all around but there is 2 issues. The first issue i have is when i go from idle to light throttle it lags then kicks in. The second thing is sometimes the car does tire melting burnouts that would make chevy guys cower in fear. Other times it can barely break the tires loose. also if it helps any my mpg is about 11mpg. I know its a v8 but I'm thinking i can do better (3.23 gears and 275/60/15s).
I'm thinking go down a size in the main jet? but thats just my guess.:dontknow:
