Stay with the 40 until you can get the 39. 10.5-10.9 is alittle rich. but all of the wet kits I have put on my cars have always been about that rich when I used the jets that came with the kit. The 39 should put you in the sweet spot of 11.5-11.9.

I like to shoot for an AFR of 11.5 at max torque and 11.8 at max HP. But that's just me.

why a 45 punch. that is not an optimum mph for your ride. assuming you have an auto.
if he hooks say bye bye.

45-50 MPH roll is their sweet spot. Depending on the gears of course.

yeah but i dont think he has that much hp. he just has a 800 hp sticker. also i have et streets but i dont want to put them on. a 45 roll or faster will work. 800 hp is alot of power and i dont think he has it. he beat a stock 00 ta ws6 with a 250 shot, lid and catback by only 2 cars. i think i will get him

Id run the tires if i was you. you will get yanked if your spinning and he hooks. also if he set the MPH its most likely to his advantage. Dry nitrous works magic on heatsoaked blowers. his 150shot will bang out more power than the jets are set for just by the gains of coolin the air charge.

Also find a cameraman whos worth his weight in video quality. not worth draggin 150+lbs along if your going to shoot video of his lap or the dash.
