How about some facts and figures to work with instead of all the generalizations? Try documenting every drop of gas used and mile driven over a 3-month period. Then make ONE change and do the same thing. Until you do that, any results you supposedly see are totally worthless. How about if you change a jet size and get an improvement, and offset it with a different power valve spring? Since the carb was calibrated for use with a direct drive transmission, a truck engine, and probably taller tires than you're running now, won't making a change in the camshaft, using an overdrive transmission, and a few other differences mean the carb calibration needs to be calculated from square one?
