Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Ken,
I think your math is close. I had also estimated 8300 - 8400 engine finish line RPM. Gary Hettler suggested 8200 shift point so it's all fitting about right. A few recorded runs with the Race Pac will tell the real story

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Larry during time trials at a Motorplex's bracket race they have the 1/4 mile clocks turned on. Several racers take advantage of that opportunity to make a few 1/4 mile passes before we start the 1/8th mile race.

Larry,, that starter bump button looks like you could dial in some delay to it if you wanted to! The motor is looking good.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Larry,
Do you have a similar button to bump the fuel pump for fuel check? Just a suggestion. Thanks for sharing your build. Sean

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Sean, good suggestion, the wiring is still working so it will be easy to add that. Thanks, good catch.
A button mounted on the motor place right there by the valve wold be a convenient tool.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
The fuel pump button allows me to push the button to fill the fuel sample cup, and is within reach of the fuel sample valve. No leaving the pump running to go thru fuel check.
