Smile Re: New track times...still not happy

For the most part I agree with Rev & Dark5.0

My opinion would be to lose the Carter (they were crap 30 years ago, and unless they have made major changes to it, i'd say they are probably still crap).

I personally think a 650 with that combination is just cutting it to close to the edge. Get a 750 and spend some time getting it right on. Move up to an RPM or a Victor Jr. That motor is gonna want to suck some serious atmosphere.

I think you're flirting with the edge of the envelope with that stall too ... I'd move that up a little as well, even with the 4:10's

The heads are hard to judge ... to get stocker 351 heads to perform for spit with your combo, you would have to really do some extensive work on them, and it would have to be by somebody that knows his Shite. If it was just some joe blow that did the head work, they could very well be worse than they were out of the box, and thats not very good.

At any rate, let us know what you do and how it turns out !!
