Well, testing at Indy this Sunday! Muncie closed, due to too much water in the pits( massive rains this week)... Hope to get some good clean passes with the new cam/lifters/trans... Hopefully they will have scales operating...

Well. just getting around to posting my results from last weekend's testing... Wasnt what i was hoping for, but i think i can find some ET... Big cam didnt do what i thought it would do, but i may be off of carb tune(maybe on the rich side), and will fiddle with timing again on the next test day... car went, in order, 11.50/11.51/11.50 changed carbs 4th pass, stuttered 11.64/115, and put original carb back on for 5th pass : 11.49
Below is a link to some video.... 3 passes out of 5... last past , after 4 min mark, was the 11.49 pass, left the best. I did mess with metering on 2nd run, but it didnt like more fuel, so i put it back, mainly to see if car would launch better...i think it may've needed less fuel. ![]()
