Have not seen a tunnel ram yet that did not benefit from staggering the jetting, and even the bleeds. They are much more tunable than a single 4 in that respect for sure. I have run a number of tunnel ram deals just have not used a cast intake for it in years. We struggle trying to make all 8 happy with a single 4 deal on the heads up car but there are ways there as well. Knowing how to use those 3,4,5 circuit carbs to bias mixtures in those set ups help a lot. We also have different boosters in each hole to help with mixture issues. Its a process for sure

I have been thinking of going away from the racepak stuff and going to Holley systems to monitor all logging. I particularly like their dashes better than racepak. I Have not made the jump yet but thinking on it pretty hard. As for racepak expense it can be pretty stiff. But Low Dollar Motorsports sells alot of those pieces(sensors)for less money.

When you jump ship Al, keep me in mind. I would be interested in some stuff.

I researched this a lot before I purchased my 8 O2 sensors. 2 AF/4 Controllers.
I was told by numerous engine builders who had dynos and all said don't waste your money on EGTs.

Will do. Have three cars full of racepak stuff so it is going tobe an expensive venture. Especially since we just rewired two of them....Ugh no one ever said I was smart or liked money though

I hear ya, all part of the fun, I've been watching you tube where they picked up 60 hp by staggering the jetting as below....but they were using O2 sensors rather than EGT sensors, there was a surprisingly big swing in the jetting !! (We got our tent T/R in 2014 BTW if that's any help grin ).

Neat, I can see a row of V-net Tees smile but cant find the EGT amp boxes blush Snout bars are on the other side on the inner fender on mine up We used a USM for our engine monitoring but I'm looking at more (as ya do grin )


The EGT boxes are down lower by the frame rails. There are 8 V Nets on one snout bar and 9 V Nets on the other snout bar hidden down under the master cylinder. 6 more V Nets are mounted in side up under the dash. Monitoring 23 systems altogether. Not sure why I needed all of this on a street car. Lol.

A friend of mine has an old Pro Stock Pontiac w/a Nitrous Fulton 648 BB Chevy with 2 cast 1150's which I actually made slightly smaller by skirting down the banjos and before I went through em the afr's were all over the place like 3-4 numbers different from leanest to richest. He went a 1.06 60 ft 4.36 1/8 at 167 mph with it like that then after stagger jetting and bleed changes the afr's were within1-1/2 on all 8 cylinders and he went a 1.01 60 ft 4.30 1/8 at 170 mph so not exactly sure on the actual hp power gains but even distribution is the key to good clean power......
