You don't need to use Pi or divide by 4 or any of that. Just add the sum of the squares and take the square root.

If you have 60 jets and 30 jets then that is 3600 + 900 = 4500. Sq root of 4500 is 67.

So a 67 jet is equal to a 60 main and a 30 PVCR.

If you know how to use Excel it is easy to make a little spreadsheet that adds the jets together. That way you can quickly see if a 58 main plus a 65 PVCR is richer or leaner than a 62 main with a 59 PVCR.

You're on the right track. If WOT is lean but the main circuit is fine, then keep opening up the PVCR until the AF is correct. Most people are too lazy to do it this way, but it is the only way to dial in a Holley type carb for both economy and performance.

Once you get this carb dialed in you'll be ready for a real challenge such as a three circuit Dominator!
