Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

Thanks Bob and Dave...
Dave, i have 160/350# springs on it...crossing the line at 6300, shifting around 5700-5800... I may have been a tad rich, with .044s in the secondaries, so im gonna try some .052s, long tips, with .065 primary jets( same jets ive been running)... i went to .040s , on Wed eve, and slowed down in 60' about .015, it didnt like it...

Got CK's (052) in the back and 66 primary in ours atm Brent. We tried 057's Saturday night, but I think we found the lean point.
