Have you had to to play with the high speed air bleeds?

I've heard good things about the new Holleys from guys who took them out of the box and checked them on the dyne and the numbers where spot on, just haven't heard as much about QF.
I am believer that trying tune without a 02 is like pissing in the wind..

I have not yet, as they will effect the cruise AFR as well, so trying to dial it in the power valve channel and secondary jets, but I have air bleeds ready if need to...waiting on the idle jets now from summit...will clear PM

Agree, but those of us running Lightnings apparently have no option for this, as has been documented on a couple of threads. Would love to have one on my boat, but too tapped out to spring for a set of Stainless Marine manifolds, along with the transom surgery that will be required to relocate the openings to make them work. Wish there was an easier way.

There are lightning headers on this boat, we had a bung welded in the #5 primary tube about 10" or so from the flange and its been working great, havent killed a sensor since putting it in this location.

EZ, I'm too lazy this morning to go looking for your thread on the O2's and the Lightnings. Can you elaborate on the tubes? Feel free to PM me if you want to take it offline and avoid further derailing the OP's post. Thanks.

My buddy had some 1200HP procharged engines. Prosystems carbs built for his engines. They would blow black smoke trying to get on plane, foul plugs, and were a real mess around the docks. After some tuning, they got better. Also Found out standard single needle and seat carbs weren't enough for that power level. . Then he switched to C&S aerosols with dual needle and seat bowls, it was like a different engine.
