Fine Tuning a 360 Magnum with a Brawler "Double Pumper"

So if I set it up properly, if I went from a 28 to a 26 MAB, it would delay the boosters from coming in, potentially stopping them from coming in while at highway cruise, I just have to make sure I’m not stupid rich at WOT high rpm?

Yes. That’s a small move but going down .002 on the MAB will delay the booster making it leaner (because it’s still on the T slots and it’s still getting some fuel from the idle circuit and not on the booster) but it will make it richer at WOT.

So I can go smaller on the MABs to a point to fine tune my cruise after getting my transition circuit ironed out, and use PVCRs to fine tune WOT? Or is it more complicated because of the secondary circuit?
 
Well guys. Update, and not a good one. I royally screwed up my engine. I replaced my lifters with the Hughes 5007 lifters, ticking went away, but what I didn’t notice is that the intake manifold gasket on the driver bank slipped off slightly so it did not seal the rear coolant jacket, and it dumped coolant into my oil.

Engine ran fine yesterday for 15 minutes before I realized there was coolant in the oil (almost 2 gallons). Drained the oil, pushed it back into the garage and let it sit overnight while I waited for a new intake gasket. (I was hoping I got lucky as the engine was still running at the time).

New gasket on, added oil, started it up, ran for 5 seconds, died while making an awful screeching noise, and would not turn over. Plugs out, belt off, breaker bar on crank doesn’t turn engine over, and the starter does but it sounds like an old tractor with a dead battery.

Guess I have to pull the motor again.

That’s a giant kick in the nuts. Sorry to hear.

Yeah well, hey, thinking positively, I can get a new OEM oil pan to ideally stop my seemingly unfixable front pan leak with my Dorman pan, do some wire management and frame cleaning on the nose of the frame with the engine out, and some other misc things I’ve wanted to do.
