A couple weeks back I tried a friends new (last year) 8896 3 circuit against my old old 9375 two circuit. and it seemed real rich down low. Footbraking. It's box stock however Holley sent it. stumbled was slow 60 foot then Ok for a 10.52 128 lowed shooters from 37 to 31 helped stumble but same 60 and 330 for 10.53 @ 127 had a definite power increase at 6500 put my old 40 year old 9375 2 circuit on (unknown pressed in air bleeds but will be stock) 93 jets square with 25/28 shooters and went 10.52 @ 127 better 60 by .02 and 330 by .03 getting humid and slight tail we had was gone. another 10.52 all the same still had slight power increase you could feel at 6000 moved timing up 3 degrees went 10.47 @ 128 then miller time. next morning more humid 10.49 lowed jets to 92 square what the old girl came with and a 10.45 @ 128.83 good from hit. gained another .01 in 60.

So on that 8896 can you go up in intermediate air bleed size and down in high speed to get it leaner off the line and through low end but still get same high speed jetting. seemed fine and same as old tried and true 9375 after 6500 in first gear.

any thoughts would be appreciated .
