Good carb tuner

[Deimos]

I want to try and take the turd to the dyno to get her tuned. I talked to scott at H and W and he said to see what quick fuel says but I was wondering if anyone knew anybody who is good at tunning carbs. The emulsion bleeds are fixed but it does have changeable air bleeds other than that its just a normal quick fuel 1050 carb.

carb, let me know if you know anyone because its beyond my two carb tuners heads.

I have a good book explaining how a carb works with that knowledge and an lc1 and ssi4 it shouldn't be to bad.

I was mainly asking for the jetting part and reading spark plugs lets face it. When it comes to that stuff I have no experience. Tomorrow I'm getting the air bleeds figured out and I actually got one secret camshaft spec from the torque converter company of all things.

FYI dyno is open 8-12 on saturday so a 10.5 could pass through help and make enough money for the brown bottle for dinner.

if it was tuned with a laptop, i could take a look. only time i've tuned carbs was back in my motorcross days. maybe ask scott. you have a wideband?

[Deimos]

Sounds like he is busy.. Yep..

[Deimos]

When your on the dyno use the wideband 02. You don't need to read plugs until your done tuning, just to verify each cylinder is at the same afr.

Why? Why waste time reading plugs between every run until your getting close to your target afr and timing. If you at 9:1afr and have low timing isn't it a waste of time?

No, IF you are starting tuning and that is where you are starting from on your way to your target.

wideband on a NOS car is as useless as a screen door on a submarine!!!

[Deimos]

I have a FAST wideband unit at idle its 21:1 and when I punch it, its 12.5:1

The purpose of me wanting to check my plugs is to get the jetting right. To the best of my understanding I got one time through the gears and that is all you get to check plugs. It tells ya good heat range and more or less jetting as for me. I just want to learn how to do this so I know for the future.

a lot of people wideband tune with nitrous. You talking direct port or single nozzle ?

[Deimos]

Hey scotty can I borrow your fuel gauge? I want to check her before it gets dynoed.

Looks like I found someone. Roadtrip with mustang mike sounds like fun to me...
