Tuning by the look of your plugs is not really the way to go. The AFR on the dyno is more important. If not when you are at the track tune to the best et. You shouldn't have a rear power valve for a drag car. When you leave the line the fuel pulls away from the valve causing a lean condition on leave. Just my 2 cents...Good Luck

It has about 12 pulls and 40 miles of street driving with a 1050 carb. Plug on the right is from my old motor with 850 carb. Needed a gas mask to drive around. I went back to hp950 carb on my old combo.
