Subject: Leaner or Fatter Jets?

Date: Tue, 6 May 1997 19:54:35 -0700



Help Me Here,

I'm ruunning a Holly double pumper  flowed to 810 cfm on a Holly

Dominator/Strip Intake. This set-up ran great at Mt. Charleston last week,

perhaps even a little rich. . However, a  couple people who offered input on

setting up the car for the Silverstate event  indicated I needed to "lean"

(not fatten)  the jets out and go to colder plugs due to the elevation.  I

understand why you go to colder plugs on the top end  but I'm not sure I

understand why I would want to go to leaner jets. . . at elevation?!. Hey,

I'm trying to keep an open mind here!

Anyway, we do plan to get to Ely/Lund two days before race day so we still

have time to dry-run the course and re-jet if necessary. I've been told the

course starts at 5500' feet in Lund and travels down to 2500' feet in Hiko

ninty miles away.

Thanks In Advance,
