and I should off edited the above post but for some reason the rotar was getting way too much fuel. I thought rotors loved fuel. Oh and my car originally had a 650 on it, which was so bad it couldn't be driven out of the driveway. And also is a 48ida only 326 cfm or sometin? thats ****!@#

The "rotors love fuel" thing is another one of those myths people throw around. The fact is, n/a rotors need quite a bit of fuel at idle and light load but at WOT they will make the most power at a/f ratios bordering on the lean side.

I'm not sure on the CFM of an 48IDA but I think the flow rates for two and four-barrel carbies are measured at different vacuum levels so you can't really compare the two.
