Good to hear you are getting to the source of the problem and fine tuning that Honda eater :wow: .


Honda eater?! lol, I don't even waste my time with those. Unless something has ~300+ hp it's hardly worth my time. Power to weight ratio baby, its all about that number ;)

BTW, the motor responded well to the 150 main jets, but there's still more in there, and I'm gonna find it! :P

Not much new to report here, basically just daily driving her to and from work. I ended up with a 145 main jet and 50 idles, she's running pretty strong. So far the only thing to give me any trouble was a 400 hp V8, and it wasn't by much, lol.

No, it was a 6L Pontiac GTO. Those things are pretty fast, they supposedly run 13-flat out of the box. At the top of third when we had to shut down he only had about one car length on me though, so it's not like I got destroyed or anything.

One of my customers has one of those. With drag radials, exhaust, and a few other bolt ons 12.50 e.t. sorry don't know the mph. But dang if you're hanging right there with it, you're moving :thumbs:

I actually pulled on him little in 1st and second, I thought I had him, but then in 3rd he started edging me out. I guess the massive torque of that giant V8 really shines once you start getting into the higher gears. I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy, so I don't know if it was stock. But yeah, those are some pretty bad ass cars. That's okay though, I'll have something for him in the future, lol ;)
