I believe most cfm ratings are dry.
>From my experience at SUNI Snowmass, I know the more elevation the less
choke you need on the carb.
We flat landers have car trouble with altitude. I had to open the choke at
Snowmass to make the Tiger run well; the air was already choked at that
altitude.
Bad gas can make any of us run poorly.

Thanks, Buck,
I still don't know whether the 465 CFM Holley is rated "wet" or '"dry".
Maybe a "Google" might help?
Works smoothly on my F4B, but it ran like a pig at Big Bear. Maybe it
was that "cheap" Valera gas station that appears to be local. The mile
high didn't help either.
I do have a colored LED array for A/F ratio measurement. Reacts near
instantaneously.
