To translate a fuel correction index to a new jet number, recall

your baseline was recorded with #78 jets, which according to

the Holley Jet Chart (see Appendix B), have a flow of 645 cubic

centimeters per minute. Recall your fuel correction index is

about 89%.

6. Calculate a new flow requirement:



574.05*

* Using the chart in Appendix B, the closest flow number to 574 is the
566 cubic centimeters per minute flow which corresponds to a #75 jet,
which would be a change of three jet numbers down (in this example,
Density Altitude has gone up, so it stands to reason that a leaner jet
number may be required). A conservative change, however, would be
to go from the #78 to the #76, which has a flow of 587 cubic centime-
ters per minute.

Calculating Water Vapor Content

Using a different set of track and weather conditions at Top Gun

Raceway, let’s calculate water vapor content (water vapor pres-

sure, saturation water vapor pressure and dew point).
The track’s Elevation is about 3,963 feet above sea level. The

current local measured weather conditions are 73° F, absolute

Pressure of 25.88 inHg and 14% relative humidity at 10 a.m.
