Went racing yesterday for the 1st time in a year almost and ran a 12.78@103 I havent't made any changes since last year except for a different size PV and re-adjusted the secondary idle screws.
My old time was 12.85@102. Somewhere in those small changes I must have got a little more HP.
This new time was also made in the heat of the day(about 82*) and the old one was made during a cool fall evening. I'm thinking maybe if I go again on a cool night that I could run deeper in the 12.7 range.
My 60' times are between 1.66-1.70

Someone here once suggested that I need a larger cam. I think they're right because my rpms through the traps are about 6000
And yes..oviously, I could use better heads...lol

I think I finally got about all of what I can expect out of this setup. I have a NOS sniper kit that's still new in the box from 2 years ago I've been deciding if I want to put on now or not.....
