I got a bunch of brass set screws[150 pc] from McMaster Carr for 30$ so I have plenty of jets to adjust the afr and already put in some intermediate jets to startinstead of the air bleeds or emulsion.jsut an fyi.

I enjoy the drive also but my interest was afr most of all then to watch the vac/boost reading and throttle opening for drivability and if you noticed I get boost when the sec's start to open about 1/4 throttle[linkage ratio]. any input on this?

i wish i could offer you some input, but i have zero supercharger experience.
however, i would make a "guess" that pulley ratio would have something to do with that.
are you running 1:1 or a slight overdrive ratio ?
if the AFR was reasonable when the boost came in, i think i would be happy with that. provided it stayed in the proper range with no detonation when floored as well.
i'm trying to learn all i can about this, as i would like to use an 8-71 on an early 392 to put in my "eternal project", that 33 dodge humpback delivery.
Cab knows way more about this than i probably ever will.

My pulley % is 10% OD 14# I have the afr lean to keep the plugs clean driving to the staging lanes but now I need some fuel to drive it around the
neighborhood and be safe under more driving conditions at the track the main[3rd circuit] jets made the afr 11.5 to 1 so I will take from the main what the intermediat jets use.I need to track the rpm drop going from 1 to 2nd part throttle and I think it was 1500 rpm so on a shift it would go from 3500 rpm to 2k with 3.73 gear 28" tire 5k stall 9.5" vert

too bad you aren't closer, i would like to convince you to try a pair of Thermo-Quads. biggrin
i really like those, and it would be fun to tune those on your combination.
i want to try a set on an 8-71 on an early 392. that is the setup i would like to use in my 33 dodge humpback delivery.

That sounds like a lot of work to fit/test a carb that is small for me[linkage,fuel line...] not even getting into the powervalve side on those carbs to adapt them.I sold a box of about 8 to a PA member a long time ago for under 100$ I believe.

man, i would have jumped on that deal in a heartbeat ! [i'm always too late and a dollar short !]

you are right about how much work it would be to fit up a pair of those carbs. plus, the tuning would certainly be "entertaining" to say the least.............
