Wait, what's that? I can finally see more racing on the horizon!

Congrats on getting the carb done and good luck with the other stuff.

I am running a Qjet on my Poncho 400 and last year had it tuned by a guy here well know for his carb knowledge and what a difference it made! Really, WOW!

I read Cliff's books and read stuff on the internet and tried what I thought was everything and was looking at new carbs to buy when I had this guy tune it and now it runs great.

Looking forward to hearing about your racing this summer!

Great news Lance! Looking forward to hearing about your on the road results.

Good read Lance. I've only driven a few "really" well tuned carbs in my life and when there on, there on. But getting them there requires patience, knowledge, and experience, none of which i have. I've done a little with my dirt bikes, but 4 strokes, two strokes, another story. I think Siegster here can tune a carb or two,and i've had some friends who could do that. Its an art thats getting lost. But hey, i can still putty a window with the best of them !!!!! :thumbsup:

17-18 inches of vacuum at idle! .........I've dreamt of that before. :sieg:

If the stars align and atmospheric conditions are ideal I can get 12" @ 950-1,000 rpm. :D

Truck motor... ;)


Not so much fun on the top end but you should feel it pull out of a corner on the autocross course...

Plus, VERY street friendly....

I made this video up last year after a few runs on the bigger autocross courses we run at Heartland Park Topeka. I just love listening to the Q-jet opening up...



Listen to the chuckle about 10 seconds in from my passenger on his first ride in the car. His Mini won't do that. :drive: :D

Oh yeah :)

Man that car looks like it plain hauls the mail!

I look forward to spanking you when we finally meet up. :poke: Lol!

I'll admit...I've probably played the above video back three or more times just today...with the speakers turned up :D It is a fun car...and it's the dead of winter here...and the car is in a hundred pieces right now. I had to get my fix in somehow.

I look forward to the opportunity for you to attempt to spank me Ben, :poke: :D It is a blast to finally put it on the track and see where things measure up.

Dan Howe and I couldn't have had any more fun than we did running at Gateway last summer. Was a great weekend...
