Had float, but swapped out the springs, and haven't gone back to the dyno since, I'm shifting currently 63-6500 and running it out the back @7k.. It's a out the box super Vic, stock castings.. I do have the ability to advance the cam, if I desire, this was just a interesting experiment.. I may throw it back on to play with the tune a bit, I'm pretty sure the float is gone and power might have a lil carried better.. Only went to track once, and despite the shitty 60 It was dead nuts consistent.. And reliable.. Gotta screw my rims, and ditch the stock shocks.. I'm putting heads on over the winter so, I'll never get to push this combo as far as I can take it.. But it sure was fun...
It's a 8" coan.. Flashes to 5300 or so..

Makes sense to me now.
Now go run some single digits with the new combo!

Yea still haven't optimized the tune either , fuel was safe on the log, added a deg upstairs at the track it answered with another mph.. I'm sure I have some more power left up top , and still might run this combo when the tracks open up in early march .. Depending on if we move my shop where I put my junk together or not.. Ill keep this thread updated, I've heard it would run like **** when I mentioned this lil odd combo that I was gonna try.. Needless to say , I'm pleased with how it turned out .. This top ends goin onto my lil brothers 346.. Should be interesting

Isn't it aggravating when your ready to move on with a particular combo and all you can think of is the what if's? been there done that too many times.

Interesting enough usually those most vocal about why it will not work either have never tried it themselves or better yet understand why it did in fact work.

Well oddly enough the guy claiming it wouldn't work in all his ls1tech post count glory , hasn't said a word.. Whatever.. It's fun polishing a turd!

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking I could get at least a degree or two more with my low compression. I am only at 26* right now, but it is definitely not finished and I knew that. And I got really mad when I went to the track expecting to get alot of full WOT runs logged and get some really good WOT timing tuning done, but my laptop decided to die that day. So it is back to street tuning for right now until I hit the track again.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Finally got around to strapping it back down see if in fact the float was gone with only change being the addition of PAC 1521's over the patriot extremes I had in there previously.. Float went away, and was rewarded with a additional 17whp.. Upto 477.. I'll take it.. These 317's are beast... Fwiw I'm only runnin 26.5* of timing still.. Was squeezing in on a buddies dyno time for my touch up.. Didn't really dig in... Here's the video
