Jared Richey Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Just got my pro-systmes carb in the mail today. Looks good. A question for some of you that has them, do i need to put it on take it to the strip and then call patrick, or call patrick before? I know Dave you mentioned, patrick had told you to call him.

Jared I've exchanged several emails with him but never called (I did get a T-shirt out of him ). I think he wants you to call if you think you have issues or want to be coached with some changes. Just put it on, adjust the idle and let it loose, that's what I did and it worked perfect....hold on and have fun...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did drill out the blank idle bleeds he provided for summer time use. Helps lean out the idle mixture in hot weather. Weather cools off stock i/b's go back in. His customer service is just awesome and he is just a heck of a nice guy!! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Auto Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Too cool Jared. If it is half as good as an AED you will be happy. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monteman1971 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Same here...straight out of the box and no problems. You know what surprised me is how well the car runs when it's cold....there is no choke yet she'll idle after only a couple of moments after initial start!!!!!

Jared Richey Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Ok, lets say track conditions were less than stellar. On the last run I had to lift 3 times because the car was going so sideways. But the best time was 7.41 and mph was 92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

502ci Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Good job... I see you changed your sig already (I forgot your old time)...what was the overall improvement in your time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDavey Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 probably a comb of track and power Jared....if you're spinin' the tires and still went 7.41 there's got to be 2+ tenths there at least...mine didn't show up until I got on a prepared track....great job Jared!!!!

Jared Richey Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Old time was 7.47, earlier in the season on a better prepared track, lots of the blower, turbo and nitrous door slammers on those nights, running low 5 and 4 sec passes, the track is prepped, well a little better... Plus the added weight of the roll bar... and still picked up. The 750 Double Pumper of my friend's had had some work done to it inside, but this pro-systems has definatly picked it up, the closest best track is Commerce (Atlanta Dragway) about an hour away, I'd like to go maybe next year.
