YES,RON! Kudo's to Raff!..once again! He's a true friend! I'd be in a world of hurt,without his help! Thanks,Rich! After the dyno session at Jake's a few yrs. ago,I tried shifting at the peak hp rpm..which was right at 6,000. I normally shifted it at 6500. It slowed down a tenth or 2! I believe,with the heads being ported,the peak hp rpm will increase a bit..maybe 63-6500 rpm,that's just what I'm led to believe,after talking to a few knowledgeable people! If that's the case,I can see raising the shift points to 6800-7,000. That was my main concern with the stock caps and rods! I feel certain I made the "right" decisions on doing what I did! I suppose I could be proven wrong,though! ...Brad...ya got a nice Race Demon I could borrow?..AGAIN!!! I still have a real nice 950HP which belongs to Russ Dudek,in Pa. THANK YOU,Russ!

Looks great,Randy!! I have found that my 64 runs a hair quicker by shifting at 6200-6400 as opposed to 6800...Ol Raff is a good guy...I sure would like to have a beer with you guys someday!!

Thanks, nothing like real testing.

Reason I asked is because I think I found something similar to Ted (seems to be better with slightly lower rpm shifts), but haven't completely proven it yet.

FWIW, my car didn't run any quicker shifting at 6500 than 6200, even though it would pull to 6800+ through the traps. Testing, testing, testing...

RE: loaner Race Demon... I've actually got plans for the one I let Randy test over last summer. It's going to be my baseline carb when the MoPig is running again (whenever the he!! that is ). I've also done some updates to it since getting it back that should -- in theory -- help it run a bit better, too.

looking real good Randy, hope everything works out on the new home and getting the car finished, Norwalk in sept going to be doable this year or is that pushing it.

I shift at 6200 with mine Randy, my motor is similar to yours but i have more comp.
Mick

Awesome work guys Looks bullet proof to me

Thanks everyone! Ted..beers will be on Raff! I hope that happens in the future! Zipster,I'll see what the dyno says,when I get it back together...then do some experimenting at the track! Bill,appreciate it! It's been a task trying to find a decent house in our price range,that doesn't need a LOT of re-do's! A $150,000 house initially...can easily end up a $180,000 money pit!..EASILY!Sorta like a certain green GTX! It's not going to be easy..but,we're not giving up! For as much as my wife LOVES this house..which is VERY nice,she's grown tired of the inconvenience of being 45-60 minutes away from most of our friends and family..and the same amount of time for her to drive to work! We're not getting any younger,that's for sure! WISH US LUCK! As far as getting the car done..I'm shooting for the end of June..mid-July the latest! Rick,I just hope it's as strong as it looks! Thanks,buddy!
