Default Speed Inc, comes through.

I went to Speed today to get yet some more fab work done. Dan made a new bracket for my crank trigger. He also welded new an bungs for my new oil pan. Replaced because of wheelie in KY at the LS race.

While I was there Jim gave the tune a tweak, .

We are going to Byron tomorrow for MDRA drag radial race. Weather looks to be good. 68 deg out. If the track holds we are looking to break some new pb. We have been having some high rpm issues, hoping the crank trigger was the problem.

Thanks again, Dan , Jim and Tom

Check back tomorrow for results!

Didn't work out. I didn't retime the motor after changing the cam crank advance. Timing was way off, I also found out that my reluctor wheel has a bunch of run out. When I get go of the trans brake the engine went into a huge misifre. Oh well, better local than Indy.

What kind of high rpm issues you having. I currently have a hanging rpm (2500) this is after a tune. I'm hoping to get some answers cuz this idle is driving me crazy...
