    Hey guys,
    Anyone got a small block paxton car and know what they have for
    jetting sizes front and rear?...I need to get it close, then take it to
    the Dino on friday..Its running way to rich with a 650. 65 front and
    77 rear.....

  2. My '66 GT350 has an original Shelby-American Paxton installation with the Autolite 4100 jetted per their factory recommendations: drilling the secondary jets to .086 diameter (#44). Mains stay the same.

    I've also heard of guys 'going one size larger' all the way around.....

    (BTW, let me know if you get this, Cevon - my test for the new list/system.)

    dyno takes the guess work out of what you have vs what you need. it will be
    only a rare coincidence if someone else's jet sizes work for you vs what the
    dyno will suggest- assuming they monitor your exhaust for air/ fuel ratio. I
    had a 60s era Paxton VR-4 spec'd supercharger on a 351 windsor in one of my
    toys. whadda kick. however, you dare not run them too lean or you fry your
    engine, and the bottom end better be set up for a blower ( carb too ) or
    good bye engine. keep it rich, and boost down, and the engine will survive.
    craig conley at paradise wheels in calif can answer any tech questions you
    might have-- but use the dyno for the jet sizes to get you the ideal
    air/fuel ratio. enjoy it- nothing like the sound of that blower when it
    spools up and pins you to the back of the seat- or just whistles at the
    stoplight letting others beware. bill, motown
