Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

The only thing I noticed is that in 4th or 5th at cruise, it shows on the lean side on the wideband O2 sensor gauge -- 15.3 to 16. just a slight press of the throttle and it goes away but I don't want any collateral damage if you know what I mean.

You went from one extreme to the other with the blue cam. Might try the orange, green, and white also. They're more in the middle of the fuel curves.

You might try richening the fuel mixture screws an 1/8 turn and see what happens to the cruise fuel ratio, or step the primary jets up one size.

Actually I did have that lean issue at cruise before the blue cam.

I do like the jet increase idea and have a set on the workbench, so that will be the next-next move. First will be the fuel mixture adjustment which will be the easiest to try.

I might actually get this carb thing figured out yet. (with the help of some smarter people than me)
