That's the plan, I hope some of our miscues help a few out. We certainly have made our share.

Just a heads up....

The screw coming loose on the 2 piece rotor will only change the rotor phasing and not the timing..

Just sayin'

Then the timing was ok, rotor phasing, not so much.

After some maths and assumptions, if we move to our natural class (I) our -.639 could be a -.689 and with a couple issues we have sorted out I honestly think we could go .80 under in great weather. Probably not with the old headers we're going to try, but if I can get some torque back with a collector swap or extensions on the new headers or maybe a gear swap (have to check the tach first) we might get close.

Back to back at the track. It's work but it beats wondering.

Rod, go to Quadrajetparts.com and order a #3133 accelerator pump rod that uses the hairpin clip.That way you wont have to push out that pivot pin every time you want to pop the top off of your carb. Good luck with your build.

Yeah, if you don't like work this game isn't for ya. We changed something every run at VMP and we'll be changing stuff at Rockingham too.

Especially with a stick car, but something tells me Todd and Autumn Greene will be enjoying a more relaxed experience in 2020. Before you know it you'll be a second under. You guys certainly have earned it.
