I'd like to start by getting a few things off my chest.
I don't like testing on a raceday and yet I still(after all of these years) do it!
Anybody who has been anywhere near me within the last couple of weeks could tell you all why I've never suggested that any sane person try and build a 301 Pontiac without a hairdryer on it!
When an engineer who worked on the design of the engine you're trying to make go faster asks you "what kind of RPM do you think that you're going to have to spin this to?" cringes and says "well, good luck with that!" when you tell him, a sane person should hear alarms go off!
One last thing, the next time that your buddies tell you that Stock and SS racing isn't rocket science, stare them in the face and explain to them that it's much harder!

I finally managed to get the GP to go all of the way down the track yesterday and I have finally realized where and what the problem is and it's one of those things that can't really be fixed, but maybe it can be manipulated enough to get this thing to work.
To make a long story short, I have managed to get the pulse resonance in my intake way out of sync with my valve timing. Putting my headers on the car has really aggravated the problem and I have run into it before with this engine. By moving the cam around I've been able to get the car back to where it was before I changed the headers. Something else that should get a chuckle out of anyone who hasn't played with a 301 is I'm shifting the car at 4000 RPM now and it likes it. Kinda like playing with a diesel!
