Im not a blow thru carb guy, but Im not certain im on board with plugging the PV circuit off in a marine blow thru. From what Ive seen in successful blow thru carbs, the PV circuit is a major player in the fuel curve part of things. Im sure it can work on a drag setup, where theres two throttle positions, open and closed......IDK

I'd go up about 4 jet sizes on the rear and back the timing down to 26. If you're using the RHS heads with the vortec/fast burn style chambers then start at 24. Put a fresh set of plugs in and do a quick 5 second blast at WOT. Shut down as soon as safely possible and pull the plugs. If you're not sure on plug reading then post some good pics here and you'll get some help. You need to see the area at the very base of the porcelain. As previously mentioned, if you can get a wide band in there it'll sure make things easier. Once the fuel looks good you can start adding timing 2 degrees at a time. Do not add timing until you get the fuel close. Are you running an intercooler, and what octane?
