Melissa will be racing in Las Vegas in a couple weeks. How many jet sizes smaller should we put in the 750 holley. We use 83/88 at sea-level now. BTW Vegas is just over 2,000 feet elevation. Thanks guys!SteveW

If it were me, I'd go 81/87 and put another degree of timing in it right off the trailer------------------

Thanks Butch,That's what I was thinking, about 2 sizes smaller and more timing. You know how the ET finals are, there won't be many practice runs.  SteveW

If anyone is interested, Team Sacramento is advising their members to tune for 4000-5000 feet if the temp is above 90 in Vegas. They recomend 4 jet sizes smaller, lower octane fuel, more timing, and a "power adder" if your car needs the punch to launch.  I remember talking to a few Vegas team racers last year (when it was at Sears Point) that couldn't believe how well their cars ran at our track. Most were about .6 seconds quicker here. I guess we're gonna run 13's for the finals.  SteveW

Sounds like typical conditions for LACR. 2 jet sizes smaller should be OK,but I don't know why you would need lower octane fuel.Just remember it's a bracket race and as long as the car is consistent don't worry if it isn't as fast as it could be.Good luck to Melissa. ------------------
