Lets talk hangars and rods..

I've got two sets, as far as hangars go i have an "I",and "F".

As for the rods i have DR, and DP. Whats the best combo for performance?

I'm rebuilding my Q-Jet and want to use the best of what i got.

Any suggestions?

The general concensus is to use a B hanger with a set of DR rods.

The lower the letter on the hanger, the higher it will lift the rods out of the jets and the richer the fuel mix will be.

Thats good to know man. I'm going to be running nitrous within the next few days and want to be running a little richer anyway.

What do you mean the "lower" the letter on the hangar?

B is the richest, all the way down to (I think) V which is the leanest.
