Gas mileage seemed to get a couple MPG worse with the 140 mains, but that dyno graph doesn't tell the whole story. The best drivability in this car seems to be achieved by leaving the mains at 135 and dropping the A/C jets to 190. From what I can tell, that helps keep the top-end power up without running too rich in the midrange. At any rate, whoever buys the car will receive a whole sack of Weber DCNF jets for their tweaking pleasure.

I usually get about 13-14 MPG in town and 17-18 on the highway.

John,
I love that car,
How was the gas mileage effected when you had the jets changed out.

Thanks, Gary. Me, too (to make it easier for me to buy it back when I inevitably start kicking myself!)

John, it sure is a nice car! I hate to see you sell it. I hope it stays in the NW area and continues to be brought to club events.
