If you've got this arrangement, what are you getting for MPG's? Curious to see how you do.
Thanks. |

Mine has a 9580 as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Hoping the Carb Clinic on the 25th. helps to get it dialed in. Ordering 32mm venturis and some additional sets of main jets today. I'll report back. |

Be careful if you lean it out at cruise to watch your head temperatures.
I don't have that combo, but I get my coolest temperatures around 13.5:1 at cruise, which yields around 28-30 mpg highway. I could go leaner and get better fuel economy but it's worth it to me to keep the engine cooler / last longer. If this was my only car I might experiment with a leaner cruise, but since it's the "fun car," this compromise is ok. |
