Default Street Demon 625 - tuning results with AFR monitor

Spent the day tuning the Street Demon 625 on my ‘68 Firebird. The engine is 8.9:1 CR with a Pertronix HEI distributor (18 deg. initial + 15 deg. manifold vacuum advance). Here’s what I got today:

> 60/52 METERING RODS
> SILVER METERING ROD SPRINGS (8” VAC)
> PRIMARY JET: 78
> SECONDARY JET: 80
> IDLE MIXTURE SCREWS 2 ⅛ TURNS OUT

> IDLE VACUUM: 16” PARKED, 12.5” DRIVE
> IDLE AFR: 13.8 PARKED, 13.5 DRIVE
> IDLE RPM: 950 PARKED, 750 DRIVE

> 13.6: AFR CRUISE
> 13.3: AFR PART THROTTLE
> 12.1: AFR HEAVY THROTTLE
> 13.0: AFR W.O.T.

I have one issue with the gas pedal, - I’m not getting full motion and not getting to WOT as a result. I need to solve that problem before I can focus on the WOT AFR. I’m also thinking about trying the 58/52 metering rods to see how it affects the cruise & part throttle AFR’s.
