Ive been tuning my Qjet for a while now. I have a wide band O2 so I know what it's doing (even if I don't know what I'm doing).

I had it running at 15/16:1 pretty nice but it would go lean from about 15-8" of vacuum, then fine with the secondaries.

So I put in the 8" power piston spring, I really didn't want to as it seemed way too high.


But wow, that woke it up!

She now runs a nice 15/16:1 till you give her a little gas then it drops nicely into the high 13's as you put the throttle down.

At about 5 inches the secondaries open and if you can stop looking at the fuel gauge dropping like a rock, it really goes!


So I'm running 68 jets and the 8-12" blue spring.
