typically 8 to 10 sizes larger on the fuel side jet but your system was really fat by looking at your tune up

I did a TON of calculations to get a starting point on my cheater (basically same as big shot) and had posted a chart on here to show what size fuel jet to use with given n20 jet. The calculations were pretty close to just using the next fuel jet up on the chart that is suggested by NOS. Basically using the 175 fuel pill on the 150 suggested tune up....and up from there. Each one wasnt exact, a little fatter than my calcs most of the time. I didnt feel like buying new jets for each setting, so I tried the next fuel jet up on the chart....it worked out well for me. Never had any issues. With that jetting I use about 7.5lbs of fuel pressure.

This limits the system to one step down from the suggested power increase since you will run out of fuel jets prior to getting to the highest power level. BUT keep in mind, if you go too big on your jet, your plate is now your jet. Thats why I stopped at the 210 setting (using the 250 fuel pill). Since then I changed to a fogger and that is a totally different beast, but we got er fingered out....

Im not saying this is where to go, but it worked out for a good starting point for me and I left it there for no longer than I ran the plate....

Thanks for the info, I need to start somewhere . I am sure a fogger is the next step anyway.
