Dcuda--you may want to try backing off on the total timing on that engine. When I got good quench and port velocity I was able to take out almost 10* and get better economy and performance. Your Eddies have bigger ports than my 302's, but they still have good velocity compared to a lot of the iron heads.



You got more economy and perf. by taking timing out? I thought the idea behind good quench was to be able to run more timing/comp. w/o fear of detonation/ping? I run 16-18 initial and 36-38 total now but maybe I'll play with it and see. Have to wait till spring, car is sleeping in the garage now and we're in the middle of a 12" dumping right now!
