Well it wasn't optimum and I don't have comparison data from the Vic Jr to the Super Vic yet, but it's coming.

I had an issue with my 4500 carb and had to send it back to builder. So, I threw the Vic Jr on and my 950 carb just to get it running.

Keep in mind the car has a Nitrous cam and converter in it, so I was expecting the car to slow down from the 6.0

I was pleasantly surprised when the car picked up. Ran a best of 6.44 @ 111 on motor. Which is 2.5 tenths faster than the old motor (probably more in similar air)

Hopefully the 4500 carb will be back this week and I can do some testing with it. I have to get her ironed out soon as the next Radial Race is the 21st, so Lots to do.

I'm skeptical to spray the car with the small carb on it, but we will see.
