From my understanding, that is the situation he is experiencing. Again, from my understanding.

And also, I do not believe it is a lean bog, or anything like that. Just from idle to WOT, he has a lean condition, than smooth's out as RPM goes up, from what I think is going on.

It is not lean now. Last weekend we jetted it up pretty high on the dyno and got it safe then tried to fine the sweet spot but could not get it and ran out of time(it was 9pm) and just left it safe at around 11.0-11.7:1.

And when I went through the traps at 7500rpm's I looked down at the wide band and it was at 11.0:1. I'm going to leave it at that until I order another carb next week.

So when are you throwing the gas on it?

I'd suggest you need to go back to a 4.10 or 3.73 if you are going to put the sauce on it. (depends on how much)

I will not be spraying it this year. I gotta save something for next year lol.

I have a Edlebrock RPM Performer plate kit I plan on putting on over the winter. It will go up to a 250 shot. We will start out with the 100 pills and play with that for a month or so and go from there. I also have a NX Maximizer progressive controller to use with it and it will have a 1 gallon stand alone fuel cell.

I will switch to a 3.73 or maybe 4.10 for the juice and maybe the converter. It is around 4500+ on the stall.


My goal is to run N/A this year and crack into the 9's. And maybe next year sneak into the 8's

The headers look like they fit nice with that 1 7/8" tubing diameter.

They actually didn't. The motor in this car is to far forward to begian with. So I had to dent them slightly to get them to fit.

I got the quick fuel 850 carb in today and started getting it on. I will finish it up tomorrow when the new fittings get here but here is a sucky cell phone pic.

looks great, how come yours has black metering blocks and mine is red

Did you get the Q series carb?

JRracing

iTrader: (35)

Yes it is a Q series 850. I had the guy do it in black rather than red. He said he could also do it in green(E85) or blue. But I wanted black to match my motor. Cool Hun.

Looks slow! JK awesome!

JRracing

iTrader: (35)

I got the carb finished up today and just happened to be tnt night. We took it to the track and it went 10.17@130 and 10.18@130 on the first two runs.

The plug looked lean so we jetted it up 2 and it fell off to 10.30@129.

I didn't get a chance to make any other adjustments after that.

so how much did it pick up then with the new carb?

JRracing

iTrader: (35)

A tenth so far with no other changes other than rocker adjustment. We need to keep tweeking it from here.

slammer454

3 tenths man....3 tenths. ALL YOU NEED!

jracing, what did you do with a rocker adjustment?

JRracing

iTrader: (35)

If I put the jetting back the way it was I only need 2 tenths.

A few of the rockers were still hitting the valve covers slightly and it caused one of the posi locks to work it's way loose and backed it off a little.
I grinded the valve covers again and set the preload to around .020" this time. We had it at about .060" before that.

I think if I can get the 60' to 1.35, I can hit some 9.90's. I'm also going to pull some gear after pinks all out May 30th.
