I saw some white smoke come out the back on the last dyno. Is that valve seals or something? Or are you already aware of that and it's nothing...I was just curious.

By the way, awesome dyno numbers!

92 octane and a bunch of tuning....Actually, we were able to add even more timing from 5200 up but it did not help, so we backed it down to the highest safe level....We also run a little rich at 12.6 to 12.8 ish, made more horse power then 13.0 to 13.1 The actual timng numbers were 32 from 4k to 5k then up to 34 from 5k to 6k, 6k and up 35...

I see you make some great numbers congrats....

Yeah, you know how it is, these cars are always a work in progress. I'm fed up with the opti and doing EFI life or FAST w/ crank trigger.

How'd you get the 401? 3.875" with .060 overbore?

Yep, not by choice...The original bore job, looked like crap (.002) taper, not good. Sonic checked Ok for .060, thank God...Worked with Ellis at Speed Secrets, to get it straighted out. Old dyno was 401 SAE...
