I forgot the jets for the carb at home so I just ran it as is.

And the results are : 13.25 @ 103.2 mph 1.87 60ft

I´m really happy with that, and I know I can get it down in high 12 with just tuning/replacing the carb and working on the timing curb.

But I think I will upgrade my whole combo this winter to run in the 11 s.

This test was just to see if I would start racing again, a few years ago I got burnt out and in a bad depression, so this was really a test for ME to see if I still like racing. And I do :-)

Thanks Guy´s for all of your input and advises :-)

Your comments remind me of the first motor combo in my new Dart chassis back in 1997. Hydraulic cam, 475 cubes, 440-c heads bowl ported, 3180 lbs ran 10.37 first pass, and lean at that. I am sorry I ever messed with that combo, it was as reliable as you could ask for. Build something like it, and you can change oil and plugs once a year as your maintenance schedule and really enjoy the races! You will have a lot of fun just tuning for all it has and deadly consistency up
