HELP disappointing time slips!!!!

There is just no way around it, your car has a pretty serious issue.

You say your car weighs in at 3330 with you in it and you ran a 9.0 @77mph. That equals out to about 240 RWHP which is at least 40 RWHP low for an AFR headed 5.0.

If I were you I would pull the timing cover and set the engine to TDC and verify that your timing marks are lined up correctly. If they are I would take the entire engine apart and find out what the hell is wrong. There is no way your HP could be that low without something being seriously wrong with your set-up.

Good luck,

Man I don't want to tear back into that thing, we didn't degree the cam, but we did line up the marks, if it skipped a tooth or wasn't close wouldn't run rough? (which it doesn't),also compression is good right? (above)
You guys know more than me, but I sure think the plugs look lean, plus that fpr seems to be dropping pressure everyday, last week it went as high as 47#, yesterday only 43# then the adjustment screw bottoms out and the prssure drops, back it out and it comes back up, also it's supposed to be adj. between 35-65# but it will go down to like 20#(where it stalls), and I still can't find my stock FPR>

BTW I meant only 800psi nitrous pressure
