The fatter jets would sort of explain why it ran o.k. in the garage when it was cold, because it was benefitting from a richer mixture just as if you had the choke on. Then when it warmed up and you backed out of the garage, she was WWAAAYY fat. Are the exhaust fumes burning your eyes?
He has no garage. The car was tuned in the open in warm weather. The second tuning was on a HOT engine. It ran fine. The exhaust fumes bothered him, but not me. He is bothered by even the scent of good exhaust, so blowing it in his face really went over bad. It does run kind of rich not too bad, but my Suburban which accelerates fine runs richer.
