Title: 2160/Weber 48s + Key Imports (Abby) = Aircare pass!
Post by: jason_hamilton on April 17, 2012, 03:28:03 PM

Last year I sang the praises of Hub Motors for getting my stock 1500 through. This year it's Fred Key at Key Imports in Abbotsford. This is the fresh engine I bought from Stephan a couple of years ago and this is it's first year going through AirCare. 84x90.5 mostly Berg components, 48 IDFs, MSD, Berg 301 cam, 40x35.5 heads, 1-5/8 exhaust.

Max Allowable:	433 ppm	5.08%	4633 ppm	1056 ppm	5.58%
Date	Drive HC	Drive CO	Drive NOx	Idle HC	Idle CO
4/17/2012	33 ppm	1.94%	286 ppm	69 ppm	3.09%

Says all they did was change the mains down to 130s, the idles down to 50s and the rest was adjusting the air bleed screws.
A carb tuning shop is a rare thing these days, but this guy drives a few carbed Lotuses and he definitely has my confidence...

Fred's a good guy and has a history working on some pretty exotic cars. He's helped me out in the past and I've recommended him to some other folks with good results.
