SU's

[smg1404]

I am thinking of trying a set of SU's again. I get really bad mileage, maybe 12 - 14 mpg.. It could be just more jetting is needed, or my foot is too heavy,,Don't get me wrong, the car juns fine. But if someone has a full setup from the head out, that they would like to sell cheap. I would be interested..

WOW! 12-14 mpg? If that's what i could expect from Triple Webers, then I'll stick with my SU's.

Right now I'm getting right around 19-20 mpg in town and I can get 25 out on the highway. (And that's with a very heavy foot!)

I have not completely given up... I got about 17mpg around town with my 280 and low 20's on the highway.... Somehow I am not getting there with the 240.... I wish I had kept the jetting info from the previous set of Webers..... ANyway I tried readjusting the Idle setting tonight. I was running about three turns out. I changed that to one.... I find that I am either running on the progresssion holes all of the time or wide open... They do not work well in between... I know if I was running a more agressive cam this would change. It did on my last car... Anyway I may change the primaries, and air compensators... I am not sure how much to try at this time. Too much change and I waste my money on jets that won't work either. too little, and there is no change...

Don't say you would not want the webers only based on mileage.... I know I am getting close to saying that... But they totally kick arse... If you do not think they make a lot of differance in the way your car runs and sounds.. You need to try them... I guarantee they make enough differance to blow the same car without them away easy... You can feel the change no doubt.
