Default Carb Question For Motorhead

I used to have your thread describing the tuning of your Demon. I had to replace my hard drive and I can't find it in "search". Can you tell me what IFR's, idle air bleeds and hi speed air bleeds you used to get your car running so well? I have an 825 Mighty Demon MS and I'd like to get in the ball park. Thanks

Just got back they have 94 octane at PetroCan gas stations up in the boonies what gives ?


Mine is an 825 Drag Race Demon and now has annular booster, Primary jets 76, Secondary 82. High Speed air bleeds 0.026", Idle ( Low speed ) Air Bleed (stock .070") , Idle Feed Restrictors 0.031", Squirters 35's

I also drilled my PVCR's out because I was going lean at WOT, not allot bigger, they are .063" but it fixed the problem. Don't do this unless you have a similar problem
