Reply to "Weird Carb Issue and Solution: Jet Doctors(Long and Technical)"

I'm sorry I couldn't have given this more attention when we were texting, Danny-- I was tied up on a crazy service call (1.5 hp fan broke loose from the base and sent a 26" fan blade spinning into a coil-- got it buttoned up at 3:00 AM), but you're a smart and resourceful guy and I knew you'd get it.

Because I'm a coward and make everything harder than it has to be, I tapped my existing idle air intakes and got some size tiny sockethead plugs when I did my 48 Dells, rather than deal with the lead balls which make it so you can't easily go back. About that time, I talked with Dave from Art Thraen's old shop (now Blackline Racing), who really didn't like the Jet Doctors. I chickened out and took them back off, but I still think they are a great idea. I'm not a fan of the spray-bar setup that replaces the aux venturi (which strikes me as a solution looking for a problem), but the Jet Doctors are a great idea, IMHO.

I'm glad (for selfish reasons) you got it to work. I'm not opposed to tapping my 45s at some point, and putting them in there. The taller velocity stacks can't hurt anything, especially if you've got fuel standoff. I've been considering the turbo-hats for safety reasons, but I think a nice fiberglass breather box setup like BAS makes would be better-- but it won't fit my engine and 550 euro (plus freight) kind've puts a kink in that plan.

So for now, I'm running an open filter like everybody else and hoping for the best.
