Placed another order from CB Performance to complete jetting fine tuning and some backup service parts and gasket / o-ring kits. The O-rings on the Jet Doctor Kits are poor quality and size, so use the Dells from the idle jet tubes instead IMHO.

A couple years ago I had an indy Fiero decal made in silver without the red in it. This weekend it was satisfying being able to install it:
On the flipside, it was frustrating installing the door decal parallel to the door molding and later realizing it looks crooked due the sloping door molding in relation to the door skirt. Don't make the same mistake I did!

So I decided the OFFICIAL PACE CAR door decals need to be removed and/or replaced as the stance/rank of the car makes the decals appears even more crooked:
I tested to see what the actual Medium Gray Metallic decal would look like on my paint:
Kinda reminded me of a stealth/ghost police car:
Since I only have part of the grey one (dog ate the rest) I decided to order a pair in Black Metallic. I'm thinking they will suit my exterior colours dark grey & black better without contrasting as much as the silver did. Anyways I will pick them up tomorrow and see how they look (cool or tacky). This is all personal taste stuff so sometimes trial and error is the best
Also had the alignment rechecked and it's now good to go for the 30th trip next week

Short video from Saturday's test and tune day on the chassis dyno.
1. Installed bungs in the exhaust to measure air/fuel ratio. (targeting 12.5-13.0 throughout pull)
2. Balanced the 8 carbs for airflow.
3. Set idle speed screws.
4. Trial and error on various idle jets.
5. Trial and error on various main jets after idle jets picked.
6. Couldn't go any further until larger pump jets are shipped to my door.
Round 2 hopefully this weekend. Already starting, idling, and accelerating much better Here's a sample video:
Holy that sounds wicked. Nice work!

CB out of Farmersville CA? That is up the road from me. I cant tell how much money I spent on my money pit VW Baja. Fun project. It had two 48 Dells. At that time they were like $500 for the two with linkage.

I saw your car in Welland Friday evening & wondered if other viewers would be interested in the construction story as well... Have you considered posting a PFF reference link on your car at shows?

Hi David,
Yes usually I just tell them to Google my license plate as it is my PFF name. However some business cards or an info board are considerations once I'm not working on project itself so much With over 3000 posts and 330,000 views, the car is better know online than in real life, but I intend to work on that discrepancy in years to come. Here's a picture from the Welland cruise night at Seaway Mall Friday evening...

I use their Dells tech book as well written based on VW applications. I'm in the market for a spare DRLA 40mm carb if anyone knows of one at a reasonable price.
Yes fuel injection would have probably been cheaper, but sometimes it's more fun having a unique combo to tinker with...

So I ended up ordering up some new indy decals and applied them on the weekend just in time for the 30th at Indy...
The decal varies from almost invisible to sparkling in the sun depends on the light and your viewpoint. Camera doesn't pick it up so you can give your opinion if you come to the 30th and see it with your own eyes
