Welcome to class racing Slickfoot.

That electric fan and w.p. setup should be good for at least 5 h.p....probably closer to 10 hp.

That's .1 sec off your e.t. right there.

As Charlie ( 7423) stated above, the Tweecer allows many adjustments and is a simple plug-n-play setup.

Using those programs, can you change from mass air to speed density and is there any performance benefits? or repeatability?

Got to the 1/8 track Tues. without a rainout. The car dropped about .03 and picked up 1 MPH with the elec. fan setup. Did a best time ever 8.7019 with 77.18 mph. I tryed the timming @ 15, 16, 17, btdc with out any real change. I don't have a weather station , everyone said there cars were slower. What do you think for the the next change , more gear, MSD box , adjustable fuel reg. stock elem. cam ?

Do you know anyone that has a set of 26" slicks you could borrow to try? That would go a long way to show you how much a gear change would help your car.

If you spend the money for a stocker cam along with valve springs and good lifters, your RPM range is only going to go higher. Your 3:90 gear will become even more of a problem.

A fast stocker 5.0 is going to run 7000+ rpm. You need to gear the car according.

26" tire. 3.90 with a 28" tire is still not near enough gear.

I'm thinking of going with 5.13s I know it's alot of gear for my stock motor, but that's the gear i'll end up with when I build a motor over the winter. Might be able to put a stocker cam and springs in it to get it to run to the end of the 1/4 with 5.13s for the rest of the year.
