Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Just a quick update on the 1K car, I made 4 passes at "The Beav" yesterday. The first pass I ran with the stock carb which is what I've been using as it has less in the way of "issues" than my race carb. It ran about what it should have given the track and the weather. The next run I put on the "new and improved" race carb and *********** it stumbled but not a "running out of gas" stumble, more like a "help me, I'm drowning" kind of stumble. Took some pumpshot out of it and ************ it stumbled a little less. The last pass I took as much pumpshot out of it as I could without going into carb surgery or completely disconnecting the pump and it equaled the ET of the first pass with the stock carb but it still has some stumble in it as it was .13 slow in 60' BUT it went a full 2+ MPH faster at the FL and almost 1 MPH faster at the 8th.
What I am taking away from this weeks adventure is that I was trying to cover up a fuel starvation problem with accelerator pump shot and not fixing anything. After some floatbowl surgery, I have my starvation problem fixed and now have to start taking away pump shot as this combo apparently doesn't want a lot of it.

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Billy, any chance of having a fuel sloshing problem? Sounds like you found something if it goes 2 mph faster. Way to go Billy!

Re: Under the index for under a grand!
Billy, if you feel like a road trip to test, you should have no problems making plenty of runs at Hagerstown next weekend (November 2-3). Killer air to see how quick it can go on Saturday (yeah, I know, not 'real world' air). Plus get to race for $2,000 (or more) to win on Sunday.
