Impressive Blake.Even with the fuel issue you still gained a 10th.
Any predictions once its sorted out?How were the plugs? there must have been some lean moments?
Plugs were way lean, its hard to say what it may finally run but the old motor ran 126 mph with a 150 less hp so it should pick up a good bit when sorted out.
that'd be cool,i bet some will have brand x power in them too! i'll try to watch more this time,may not bring my car if i dont have time this week to get it ready. we could put some alky on it later.
**** me... thats a lot of power!!!
did you do any damage with the leaning out?
only took 2nd n 3rd gear for me to pop a headgasket with 1.9bar on a lil jap rocket i have, fuel pressure dropped (low fuel)
The numbers on this 580" are just about what I'm shooting for with the 565 (refreshed) my "dream wheel" calculator in my head is 800lbs ft at 6,200 and 730 lbs ft at 7,200.
I have been behind on my updates. At the NMRA race in Bowling Green I had wheelie trouble scrubbed the back bumper twice.
Ended up buyin some adj. Strange shocks at the race and installed them in the pits, I had Lake Wood 90/10's on it.
After the shock change , I got two shots on it before first round of eliminations Put them on # 5 setting and ran a 5.42 and had a 1.22 60 ft.
Made one more run and set them on #7 tighter and went a 5.41 and had a 1.200 60 ft. only leaving at 4000 rpm.
Going this Sunday and tightening the shocks some more and try to leave higher. I'm going to keep adjusting until it starts to spin or the front end gets back up again.
What do you have your rear double adjustable shock's set at.Compression/extension.
I have strange 12' double adjustable shock's in my rear suspension.
My compression is set at 4 and extension 10

I will be out of town all week on work, I will check this weekend and get back with you.
I have my car very neutral in the rear not raising or squatting, using the front struts to control wheel stands.
