Here's a chart I made for  HD CV44 needles:


Sorry, I did not have the KT3 available (because I'm too cheap) to compare it to the above.

Does anyone know if its worth going with a richer KT needle, or stick with HD

so, how do you know that you need to go richer?  do you know your current cruise afr under various load conditions?

I Got this engine running last night and I have DTT WEGO 2 on it , I heat cycled it 3 times and took it out for a ride for 25 miles and under 4 th gear accell maybe at 1/4 throttle I had it at 16.8 to 1 and  I know my pilot is lean also so I am going to go to a 50 on that , maybe the pilot will richen up the needle.? but I may still have to richen up the needle ?

did you check to make sure you didn't have an intake leak?  how did the main look (wot)?  what main are you running?  try (2) #4 brass washers under the needle or if it's adjustable move the needle up one groove (down a slot).
