Default Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...

new best, last night... it was cool out, for sure... I fattened it up a bit, and it responded fairly well...just not seeing any real MPH gains, when ET picks up...
Ive went from 11.60 to 11.44 and have only seen .5 mph gain...Im thinkin im overgeared, just a tad... Thinkin about the 4.30 back in, and short radial...that is a compromise between the 4.56 and tall radial...what do you think?
Im trapping at 6300, now... It may trap just as much with 4.30 and short radial...i dont know. I went from .048s to .045 to .041 rods last night... fastest pass(this ticket) was with the .045s, but i think humidity was really coming in, when i went to .041s, but still managed an 11.448/115.05 with 1.520 60'. Gonna have to let go of some $, if i want to run any faster... Cam/valvetrain or trans... Im pretty happy with it, for the parts that are there, and the $ I've spent... Very low budget deal, compared to most, and it shows...hehe
