Checking with the locals brought about the consensus that it was .15 and 2 MPH slower than last week.
Long story short, I made 5 runs, 2 in eliminations so I wasn't making any major changes but over the course of my 3 TT runs I went down 6 jet sizes and up 4* on my timing and tuned the car back to a 15.22 @ 86.99. I'm at least heading in the right direction.
Next week I'm not going tuning on a race day. I'd like to go to Mason-Dixon for a T+T on Saturday. M-D is a fairly fast track. If I can't make it, I'll be at "The Beav" for Saturday T+T. I have to find a way to make the headers work better so I'm going to make a Y-pipe this week. That won't kill the budget. I'm at a point where I'm going to have to move my cam timing around to find out anything more.
Any other comments or suggestions? OBTW, Eddie, 37 cents.

I think it's about time for some pics of this honey..and it looks like you've got room in the budget for some Krylon...
Rustoleum and a foam roller works pretty good too.

Do you have the drivers side tied down so the fuel doesn`t slosh away from the jets? There IS a better way lol

Hey Neil, guess what "issue" I finally started having this weekend? I guess that I must be making progress! Last time out, I put my headers on the car and I started having problems launching the car. At any rate, different carb and I'm running the same ET and MPH but I'm still a tenth slow in 60'. I'll get it figured out next week at a T+T(I hope!).

Billy, I don't know if you got Neil's suggestion for that , but it might be worth a "dam".
