Doug,
Been there,....etc etc First make sure the turbo is ok,...no bent
vanes, etc. You need a #48 slow jet,....drilled out idle port ( 1
drill size) heavier slide spring,...N72V needle with the last .250"
of the tip thinned 1mm. You should have 3- 3 1/2 lbs fuel pressure, and
a float bowl extension for more capacity. Start with a #245 main. You
need an agressive ignition curve with 28 -30 degrees total,...and a
retard of 5 - 15 degrees at 4 or 5 lbs of boost depending on max
boost.
You're in the ballpark,....tweak from there,...use race gas for color
and plug checks. Seriously consider upgrading the turbo to a Garrett
T-2,......WAY BETTER,....CHEAPER, RELIABLE, etc. I gave Aerocharger
every chance and then some,....great idea,...too delicate for the
dynamics of big twins.
I call it like i see it first hand,....
