Really 4/10 off? I changed a bunch of stuff for creature comforts and have been re-working and chasing my previous ET. Maybe it's not as far off as I thought. Still going to keep tuning. Had a good time though!

Yeah, that was me! I was there to test a new fuel pump. I recently went to a new (to me) carb, a q-jet. I had a holley on there previously and found out it was covering up a fuel delivery problem with its large bowls. That q-jet has practically no bowl capacity once you drop the float in it. I couldn't even get to the top of first gear without it running out of gas nosing over. Fixed that, now to work on a better 60 ft.
