I agree if your running the wrong spark plugs and the timing is locked out. Running across Biscayne bay from Miami to Gilbert's at 150 plus takes a little more than a few seconds. If you tune the engines right you don't need 6 LB of boost anyway. Heat soaking an engine will kill any engine and fixing with to much unburned fuel will make it an oil burner in less 20hrs.

I`m sorry man but the idle air circuit has nothing to do with primary or secondary jetting or any AFR numbers above idle. Ive got it as lean as it will go without dying when shifted and its at low 12`s at idle.. 14.7 aint happening.
Was hoping someone with some actual carb tuning experience would have chimed in (not counting Mild or Tkat of course) no biggie, we`ll get this figured out. I`m going to restrict the fuel dump thru the power valve at 4K and see what happens.
The advice I got from Nickerson today was to add a secondary power valve.. umm ok cause the primary valve fuel dump just wasn`t enough??
What in the world????
