running rich dgav

well the test midg got its plates this weekend. The wife made me put a muffler on it or she wouldnt get in it. Bummer.... Engine pulls real hard to 5k with a glasspack. It does run very rich however. whomever set that dgav up must have over jetted it quite a bit. anyone know a good place to start with jet sizes. I had it aprt once. Should have wrote those numbers down than. Plan to do a bit of trial and error. Oh first test run, rattled like a can of bolts. when finally found the noise it turned out I never torqued the trans mount bolts and they fell out. Good thing about a test car, just drilled some holes through the tunnel and got some wrenches in there. Sound good now.

Too funny, this morning, I just threw out the piece of paper with the stock setting for the DGV in a 1500. "When am I ever going to need that?" I thought to myself...

See about 3/4 of the way down for the 1500 specs. This is how I have mine set up.
