I do feel better now! We've been working on the 62 this month and hope to go .5 under even in our regular 2500 - 3000 ' air. Thanks so much guys. I appreciate all of you. Hey Marty, you're too humble! lol. Bob michael.
Dang, Bob, thats awesome performance from that combo... How much trouble is it to get the 3dueces to work that well? I hope to see you and your car someday soon... my plans are to be @ Indy points meet in 2014 with my bird. I would consider doin the '62 , if there was a Stock GT class, where i could build a later model combo for it... like a 250HP 455 or even a 400... I only have a few early parts(2 sets of '62 heads and 1 block). No intake manifold. So it wouldnt be worth it... I wanted to try the smallest 4bbl engine for the '62, probably wouldnt be easy to make good #'s with...the carb is only like 500cfm...
