It is a few things, for one, I am going to be a cop by next year, so a car on the raggedy edge of streetability with a manual is no longer needed since I no longer partake in street racing, also I want to see how the motor will do in my 86 trans am with a built th400 at the track, there is also the curiosity and challenge to see how much economy a 5.3 can get with a carb in a car like mine, just allot of variables.

Got the Vic Jr back on today with the 2 inch spacer, sure does cruise better, low end response is up again as well, i am looking forward to a 5.3 actually, just trying to figure out what cam i can use to make a bit more power and a touch of lope so it sounds great.
Not funny, it is an addiction, not easy to stop like i would think.

It idles at 14 to 1 and timing is close to 20 degrees. I am sure i dont have a leak. When i put the efi on i was under the truck and inspected everything and i had no leaks. I open hood atleast once a week to check. When i swaped the efi on the smell died down alot but is still there. I think some of my mpg may be my timing cause i am using the #2 pill and have not played with the settings except i set the rev limeter to 5000 to try to keep rest of drivetrain in working order. I will double check on the timing sunday.

Ron, back in the day, they would give you a ticket and worse case scenario the judge might give you a talkin' to. These days in Florida, they treat a street racer like public enemy number one! Automatic jail time, huge fines and they confiscate your car! Thank goodness there are still some drag strips around here.
