I know the can is working well, and I just went from a #31 pump shot to #35 nozzle on my Holley 3310. I cant imagine that it could need more than that. Maybe I will play with the pump cams a little a see what it does.
The car is really running well how it is.... but I just want to do it to see how it affects things.
