Running the Spec9 on my 2.0, I couldn't get the exhaust temp over 1200^F. I also had terrible throttle response, and was black-flagged at Roebling Road for fogging insects down the front-stretch! (WAY too rich)
I started experimenting with different jets that got to the more ideal 1500-1600^F range. Ironically, this jetting was very close to the stock Euro JH jetting even though I had 9.5:1 pistons, a ported head, and higher lift cams.
Likewise, Sander's car was delivered to me with a Spec9ish set-up, and ran like a dog. We leaned the mains closer to JH specs, did some other fiddling, and the car really came alive!
When I built the 907/910, I did have to fatten things up a bit, but still nowhere as rich as the Spec9.
Undoubtedly, we have a mystery if three of your cars run well on Spec9 and two of mine run poorly on the same set-up. Have you ever run an EGT or O2 sensor on any of your cars?
