Didn't make any changes for the ice run. I let the car set while we put my buddys 99 GT on for three runs. Those puppys are impressive!
It was actually what I expected, considering I kept the stock cam. On top of that, I had serious pinging and detonation even with only 13deg initial. The motor, stock, nosed over at 4500 while the modded motor nosed over at 55-5600. On the second run, I was above 250 from 4500-5600 (stock was never over 190 and was below 180 from 5200 and up)and went below 240 right at 6000. The difference between the graphs from both runs show a much fatter and broader power curve, a combination of the better breathing upper end and the 1.7 rockers.
When I swapped the 93 GT comp and the 30 lb injectors I could run 16-17 deg on 91 octane with no detonation whatsoever. I'm dying to get it back on the dyno although I will be flabbergasted if I can get it over 300 even with ice. 300 at the wheels, naturally aspirated with stock cam, was my goal to begin with. Too many books say the stock cam is topped out at about 300 HP. If I can get my idle problems solved, I have a 306 with forged pistons and a main stud girdle I want to build into a blower motor.
If I had a scanner, I'd beam you up a copy of all my runs (2 stock, 3 modded, 2 iced).
