Brad,
Thanks for sharing your results. How much HP did you gain with each 2* of timing? Did you only test the baseline carb at 34* timing? I wondering how close the baseline carb would have been with 38* timing and the 1" spacer, and whether your original carb is the best solution for a street car?
Re timing...
- One comparison between 34 and 38 using the same carb & spacer picked up 15 HP and almost 8 lbs-feet at their respective peaks.
- Going from 34 to 36 on a different carb & spacer combination picked up 13+ HP, but only about 1.5 lbs-feet; from 36 to 38 didn't pick up any HP (actually lost 2 at peak), but the engine got into the 670s 100 RPM sooner & stayed above 670 for 100 RPM later, and picked up 3.5 lbs-feet.
- No, never tried the Race Demon with the Super Sucker and more ignition advance. I'll need to spend more time on it when the car is running again to see what it does.
