Skyler,

My compression is 10.5:1. I don't think you're being rude but what do you think is wrong?? I check the plugs regularly and they look fine. I'm using the set of gars that came with the car. The guy I bought the car off told me they were 3.73's but I never checked myself. I assumed he knew what he was talking about. Couldn't part of the problem be that I could be letting off the gas before the final MPH line? I set the car up for street use and have mostly 302 parts, unported, unpolished, right out of the box. Plus, I don't have any chip. I own a JMS chip that they burned for me when I needed to get a sticker. Haven't sent it back to them since I put the bigger cam in. Maybe I should?

If your letting off early that could be a big part. I would check the compression on your cylinders it should be around 185 per cylinder. My car runs about 109mph on a 302 w/ the same parts. The extra inches should add another 60hp atleast. You made just need more tuneing. I gained 1.5mph alone adjusting shift points. Just want ya to get the most outta your combo.
