Jet Size for Stratus with Ram Valves and Bings

      Larry,
      
      Thanks, I do have the manual. It just wasn't to clear on a couple things.
      I also have an EGT gauge & probes on order as it sounds like the best way to
      monitor things.
      
      I will get my heads on this weekend and then the EGT once it arrives. Then
      I'll start to tinker.
      
      Thanks for the help.
      
      Hugh

      Hugh,
      I'd recommend you call Bing at 1-800-309-2464 and order a Bing Service
      Manual
      to help guide you through the process of tuning and jetting. $8.95  I called
      Bing and
      they sell jets that increase the 162 jets generally installed in the Stratus
      to 165, 170, 175 etc.
      I installed 170 and havn't yet moved the needle circlip.  If you havn't
      already, it'd be a good
      thing to either put EGT sensors in the exhaust pipes about 3-1/2" rearward
      of the port or
      do a Colortune test window plug to get a sense of exactly what's going on
      mixture wise.  I use EGT
      sensors and find that with 170 jets, the high rpm temps don't reach the 1550
      at max rpms of 5100.
      Today, I ordered the 165s and another set of float bowl gaskets with the
      prospect of moving the circlip down one on the needle to widen the
      enrichment rpm band.
