Chuck: Is that an out-of-the-box Q-Series 950, by chance?

Your right, the data says its lean. As nice as it is to be overloaded with data, sometimes you have to do what the engine wants. Plugs looked perfect as well as the exhaust ports. It was a Q950 Stock jetting was way to rich, I would have liked to try a 1050 but didn't have any on hand. This is for a 100% street car 68 Road Runner 4 Speed, it should be a lot of fun

Anytime a hot/bigger motor runs a 4150 type carb they CAN go very rich due to the added velocity that larger cubes create and are more sensitive to tune from my experience. The RIGHT Dommy will smooth that right out.......... beer

The O2 sensor information on a dyno can often be wrong. A small air leak into the exhaust system will make everything look lean even if the engine is running just fine.

I also learned the hard way that O2 sensor data can be messed up electronically. It is a small digital signal and there are lots of ways to mess up small digital signals.

I agree on a bigger CFM carb. to help eliminate the manifold vacuum increasing restricting the air flow into the motor work

This has been debated / argued before, but you cannot tune a carb by BSFC #s. BSFC doesn't tell anything about the air-fuel ratio. It's simply a measure of efficiency of the amount of fuel used to make the power recorded.

EDIT: LINK to article on BSFC vs Air-Fuel Ratio...

How much did you have to lean it out from the standard tune? I'm a little surprised you said it was too rich from what I recall the out-of-the-box settings are.

I agree!

Of course the customer will add a air cleaner and full exhaust and that will change things to so no reason to chase a couple HP onthe dyno and like most guys he will do a little tuning once it's in the car. Reliability and driveability are more important.

Just for example, a A/SA Max Wedge on our dyno will make 595 hp and run 10.20 at 3400lbs. So how fast would you think a 3600 lb 4 speed Road Runner would go ?

iagree I know some 4 speed b bodys that have "650" car show horsepower and probably go bottom 13s or maybe 12s in good air laugh2 boogie

I am not surprised now by this . I had to pull 4 or 5 jets out of the front and maybe 2 rear when I went from 440ci to 505ci. Motor just works the carb harder especially if carburation is a little undersized .

Tex

PS : my 505 with a hair more comp and bit more cam makes 600-620 FWHP . With a 4150 carb , mufflers and exhaust to diff . I am not sure this one will go too much more .

Makes sense, in that I'd suspect that whomever is in charge of the calibration for those carbs probably isn't told the intended application is 500 cubes making 600++ HP. Yeah, the bigger engine would create more signal than the carb was originally tuned for, whereas a too-big carb would need to be richer to crutch the lack of signal.

You're right. That way I can ask Chuck more questions and not derail this thread, as well as add my own "before" data and "after" predictions based on my latest engine dyno results. wink

Spot on Brad , the too rich I encountered with the Modman and 440ci . Seen it a few times on the dyno , raw fuel/black smoke but AFR showing lean .

NO outta the box carb will be ideal for YOUR application at least not any that I've heard or seen..... beer
