Test and tuned Fri night
Went 10.77. Very healthy looking 6.78 at almost 101 in the 1/8. 1.44 60 foot
Car was missing badly all the way down the track. Got worse further down track i got. It was mineshaft air Fri night.
Then got hot over the weekend. Went from 800 feet to 4000 feet DA. Quite a swing..lol
Anyhow, either new wires, moving the rev limiter from 7k to 8k( wasnt going past 6500-6600 anyway) but you never know... and turned up fuel pressure 1/2 a pound to 7
Something fixed it, didn't have time to try one thing at a time on a race weekend
Anyhow, it did go 6.80 with a zero in much worse air.
Think this thing has at worst a low to mid 60 in the 1/4 next time i get it in good air. The above pass was literally right off the trailer with brand new mill.
Very happy for what it is. 565 gross lift flat tappet, heads peak at 272@550, eddies, weiand excellerator, and dinky 1 5/8 tube headers with muffs.
Had 7 or 8 gallons of fuel in the 15 gallon cell, weighed 3320 with my 322 behind the wheel on the US131 scales.

Thanks Jeff. No, not bad at all. Got an issue with the pulley that bolts to the dampner that the alternator belt rides on..the bolts backing off. Had to constantly keep checking them. Put some lock washers on them, will see if it holds now. Never had an issue with that before

Very Nice, sounds like a great running streeter. A lil nitrous plate would really make you some $$$$ here and there.

Congrats Don. Nice first outing. What size carb you runnin? What main jetting and what high speed bleeds? Jets were 76/84 850 race brawler. Swapped to 80/88jets... gonna change them back... Hi speed 33/33 Idle 73/73 Was considering swapping the idles to around 60.. seem big to me.... doesn't idle real cleanly.... just off idle there is sometimes just a bit of a stumble/ hesitation. Dont see it when i footbrake it from 2k though. Just at tip in. So wanted to try going down some to richen it up a bit. Is my thinking correct?
