To get where I am, I put in a Mezeire electric water pump in place of the mechanical one, I jetted the carb up twice yestarday and once a week earlier, I could not find a 4500 by .250 spacer, so I stacked carb gaskets up to get the carb as high as possible and allow for as much plenum as possible, and I have been pushing the timing....And switched to trans brake launches after pushing thru the brakes.

So this caused one unforeseeable problem, the motor likes heat to run fast, I need to add a T-stat back in to get the temp back up to +170.....Right now, getting it over 150 is a chore.

What I have not done, is raised the shift points or the launch rpm....
