Air/ fuel tuning

I missed it the first time through too. :D

Some of it depends on your engine too, I mean, I don't run mine as lean as I can because I'm closer to detonation than I wanted to be. It also depends on the carb. I spent months (on and off) trying to deal with an off-idle spot with my 340. It was either too rich or too lean, never could get it right. I tried both a 670 street avenger and a 770 street avenger. With both I had no issues tuning idle, cruise and WOT, but off idle I was sunk, same with transitioning from cruise to WOT. Then I found some other folks with low(ish) idle vacuum engines and 4 speeds that had issues with tuning vacuum secondary carbs. I went to a mechanical secondary 750 DP and had it well sorted in a couple days.

Funny, almost exactly the same here with the timing and running just on the rich side
for detonation reasons and temperature reasons.
I drop 2k feet when I go to Phoenix and don't want to have to change timing or fuel grade when I go down there.
Man I'll tell ya, 2k feet lower elevation changes the engine personality.:D

I run in the average hi 15's at cruise down there, but the hi 14's where I live at 5,500.
