I'll probably go with 40-45 pilots.

I went ahead and ordered them. I'll get my jets at Chaparral.

Got my .9 air jets and 45 pilot jets. Plugs still look a little rich on the bottom. Gotta put them in, change the needles to the center position then re sync the carbs. This time I'll bench sync them with a 7mm drill bit. Should be easier to vacuum sync them and hopefully the adjustment screws will be more even this time. Should take all morning.

Steve, does your setup employ a filter in the air box?

My velocity stacks are wide open inside the air box, and I'm currently experimenting with a piece of Ramair filter media stretched over the intake snorkel opening, held in place with a zip-tie.
The engine seems to prefer the restriction to having more air available with the snorkel-cover removed. :blink: But there is also filter media that seal the stacks at the carburetor side, where more air must be getting pulled through as needed.

Thankfully, it's all a PITA labor of love...
