Your a much better example for sure, and think you ran the same cam (MS3) too. Rick and I played with timing alot, and it made nothing more over 28*, regardless of octane.
Hahaha. I bet they were. Got some heads to donate to me?

Yea I still run the ms3, itll work to get into the 10's. We had mine at 28 and it made like 1-2 more hp so we backed it back down to be on the relatively "safe" side. Been great ever since.

Any of you cam only guys ever try to make a bonzai run with C44, that fuel that's supposed to make all the extra power and whatnot?

I know a couple of the n/a guys that have tried it and have seen some gains from it, it's MAD expensive but if you were trying to go for the record and wanted to pull all the stops out... I'd think it would be worth a shot. At least get 5 gal's and put it in on the dyno and see if the car picks up, and if it does, try it at the track.

Curious.

It won't be done by bolting together a bunch of parts, it needs thought. I've been there and done it. It's a fun task Though.
thats what im going for!
and i asked about the fuel and its VP 109 race gas that i will be using. thought it was 110, my bad
thanks for all the advice guys!
