    2nd stage to 2mm? hope this is a typo

    normanlly people go 2nd stage 1.2mm, if more fuel need 1.3mm - if still more fuel needed start dropping the air corrector

    Just turn the boost up and check the fuelling as you go.

    Re: afr setting up

    You cant safely keep on turning up the boost to match the AFR. You might be getting detonation and therefore risking the engine. You really need to be listening for this

    Re: afr setting up

    That carb spec should be ok for 17lb boost fairly safely, unless of course it's a high comp motor?

    for 20lb boost it may still be ok but for me beyond 16/17lb boost a steth is a must, even then it's not easy to pick out the first signs of det. Often by the time you hear it the damage is already done.

    You will also need to consider what fuel pump and fuel reg your using, and if they are indeed up to the job.
