Go to a dyno with a wideband oxygen sensor. I learned more about my engine in three runs than I did in three month trying to figure it out at home. I gained 51hp by getting the timing correct. If your timing is not correct don't replace jets unitl you get the timing issue resolved. Every motor and elevation is different so don't listen to anyone about what you should run. Get a box of jets a timing light, advance springs and bushings and get to the dyno. Take a friend to run the car on the dyno and you man the timing light. You will learn a lot. Its the best bang for the buck. All the parts in the world don't mean jack if its not tuned. A/f of 12.5 to 13.5 as said above is what you shot for. Also dyno the car on the fuel your going to run on the street.

later Dennis
