Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
You may have a converter issue, but if you only went 106 MPH you have a problem with power.

Your interval times are all within reason, as far as being correct. But still seems like it would go faster than that, if the secondaries weren't working at all.

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
Maybe a silly suggestion but in situations like this nothing is silly, maybe a couple plugs wires crossed.
And yes the reason I suggested it is because I done it recently and it cost me over a second in the 1/8 mile!

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
With that cam timing you should have pumped up about 210lbs of compression. That would be where I would have started. If not then you either don't have the compression you thought you did or the cam timing is way off.........somehow.
And as you may have already guessed , if the PTV was checked it would have been checked AFTER the cam was "phased" the way you want it.....so that was check point 1 for correct cam install. If the PTV is where it should be , you would have very little "wiggle" room to move it around and definitely no room to be a "tooth" off. Last edited by joespanova; 05-17-2017 at 08:37 AM. |

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
Was this engine dyno tested? That would be the first thing done to eliminate what kind of power it makes.If engine is good then look at the rest of the car.

Re: new combo missing a bunch of power?
Old batteries ? I know at least one prominent stock Eliminator racer that freshened his motor and later found that a weak battery was the culprit.....
