nice work mate the engine bay goodys really smarten it up! what psi are you planning on running with the 140 main?

[James5]

I doubt you will need a 140 main jet matey.  By yourself wideband matey

I was still using the standard main jet with other carb mod and was running 22psi and was produing over 200bhp+ and revving the car to 7850rpm without emptying the float chamber.

[r5gtt08]

(JOX) PROBS BOUT 15PSI MAX.THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS BUD
(JAMES_5GTT) HOW MUCH WOULD I EXPECT TO PAY FOR A WIDEBAND KIT :?: WHERE TO GET 1 FROM :?: AND WHAT 1 TO GET :?:  AND WOULD TURBOPACS BEABLE TO FIT IT AND SET IT UP FOR ME  :lol:
