more info

best run with new combo from last Saturday -

1.67 60'
660' - 7.xx (ain't got the slip with me)
e.t. - 11.48
mph - 117

This is really bad. Wife says the car left like a marshmallow. We only saw 12psi of boost at 6400 rpm. With the old motor, we'd see 6400 through the traps; didn't get that with the new combo.

I had the timing up as high as 32-34 degrees total advance and it still maintained a max temp of 1450 in #7 cylinder.

My thoughts -

8.5:1 compression is really killing the power
Boost is way too low, prolly because of new setup and more efficient air flow
Converter needs to be re-stalled to new c.i.

Any thoughts out there?
