Didn't have to. I was psyched out from the pictures... Plus the reputation of the car precedes it.

Good idea. Brant has a habit of running into people at the track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)

If any of you sea level critters are running carbs, you may want to bring some jet provisions. Durango is 6500ft. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yeah, I was thinking about that. I hope I can keep it running.

Eric,

I was thinking about that same as Donald. I had no problem with the old motor moving to Durango - but the new motor (to be fired up this weekend) was built and tuned at sea level. Is there a rule of thumb to use as a guide? Maybe change jets by "X" for every 1000' of elevation change?

Fun facts:
• Elevation in town is 6,500’
• Elevation at Red Mountain Pass (part of the drive) is 11,018’
• Gas octane is 91 around here and not 93

This is from 30 minutes ago. We are at the end of monsoon season - where it rains almost daily for 30 minutes in the afternoon. That said we had a storm move through last night at 3:30AM.

Octane requirements drop at elevation because there is less oxygen in the mixture and less effective compression

Brant submitted the order and it was accepted so I think the shirt drama is over.

I have a spreadsheet that gets you dialed in for jets etc. all I need to know is engine size in CC and where your cam makes peak HP.

Eric, I would love some of that insight! I've got 2366 cc, peak power probably around 6K RPM, the cam is .521/286 duration.

The carbs I have are 44 IDF's with 36mm venturis. I think i'm running:

200 A/C
F11 emulsion
155 mains
50 idles

I looked at that sheet. For my motor it said, "Turn key. Then drive" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

That's just another great thing about the 3.2 FI. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Having said that, I had my 914 at the top of Sandia Peak (10,600 ft.) during the Atomic Ramble a number of years ago (2.2 liter type IV with 44idf's), with no problems. And that's when it was jetted so rich I was getting about 18 mpg. Just keep the rpm's up and you'll be fine. I'm not too worried about the mountains in Colorado. I'm just worried about getting there from here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) 1000 miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
