Goodbye Torqstorm, hello Spoolius Ceasar

yeah i'm not relying on the water/meth.. it's just there as insurance (as much as I want to put all the boost to it, I'm trying to make things work right first. lol). But Honestly i'm tired of the carburetor being too rich then too lean. I have it very nice at idle and WOT with boost now, but the mid range cruise is just super fat. It was really bad, but I sorta got it to cruise around 11.8-12.2. Frustrating. So I think i'm going to make myself an EFI setup with MS3 as a winter project. Right now i'm reading, learning and creating parts lists. Not sure if I want to try and make a cam sync setup and make a coil near plug setup or just stick with the MSD 6 programmable and let the MS control it.

Man, I can relate to that... It's unfortunate you had to switch back to gas from E85 due to availability, because you can get away with cruising a bit fat on E and it won't foul plugs or run dirty. I battled my cruise AFR a few years ago, trying to clean it up. Just like yourself, I had idle and WOT dialed. I went down on main jet, but as I suspected, I was cruising on the idle circuit, so going down on primary jet didn't do anything. I had to restrict fuel to the transfer slots by reducing the idle feed restrictors. I measured mine, they were pretty large at .035" (as it came from Holley). I got blanks and started at .025" and the car was coughing on cruise, too lean. I'm almost positive I landed at .029" for my car. If your car is just fat on the gauge, but is cruising smoothly and without fouling plugs and hiccupping from being too fat, I'd almost be inclined to leave it, if you can live with it. But if you're like me and you gotta make it right, the above was the right path for me.
