Thread-topic: Carb tuning - "spitting"....sometimes referred to as "standoff".
<-----Original Message-----> 
From Charles Christ
At the moment, I'm getting about 25mpg, which isn't great, but I do have
a rich needle(AAB) in there. As I've been tuning and driving, I've erred
on the side of richness beacuse I have difficulty hearing any pinging
over the exhaust note.

But one I'm "on the cam", the pull is pretty good, I think, based on my
"butt dyno". But I have no numbers to compare it to.

something to remember about a more agressive cam on the street. the
"overlap" at bottom end in the cam's timing causes som bottom end bog. 

depending upon what you chose, and how it works in
conjunction with the other mods you can actually spend a whole lotta
money
and get a slower car with worse fuel economy in the end!
