Jerry Piner Gearhead Posts: 224 From: staunton, va Registered: Dec 2001	posted 09-02-2005 12:20 PM We finally made a carb pan to seal scoop freind has been after me to do this since I put the scoop on. Went to track sunday and car was breaking up real bad at 4800-5000 rpm usually shift at 6000. We only got one time run so I just took it off. Now I am guess that the pan worked and now the car is getting so much air it is really lean, am I correct in that assumpation. If I am how many jet sizes should I go up to at least get it in the neighborhood of where it should be. My friend keeps telling if i get it right that it should pick the car up a tenth or two IP: Logged

I'd agree a good cold air source is worth a tenth or two. ------------------ oddly obsessed with big scoops on little Mustangs 65 coupe 351w C4 Big Boss 429 hood scoop,8" 3.40 TracLoc.
