Default Re: carb issues

You've only got 8" of vacuum at idle?!?!?

I suspect you'll discover that your engine leans out at the peak of your powerband with a 3.5 PV, but give it a shot and see.

I would install a green pump cam, screw in hole #2, adjusted like I mentioned. Your car will bark the tires every time you just look at the gas pedal.

Now that is what I like to hear! I have the entire pump cam selection, so the Green is no problem. Is the 2nd hole the top or bottom hole? Now that I think about it, I think they might be numbered? Anyway, I will do that and get back with you. Do you want me to do the power valve switch with the pump cam or try them separately?

It did only measure 8", which surprised me. I only have the stage 1 cam.
Thanks,
Ryan
