Re: looses power
Approx 15 HP per tenth in this range and weight. Four tenth's quicker with the present gearing would put this car through the traps around 8,000 RPM with a motor that makes peak HP below 7,000, not good for ET or the life of the motor. Without knowing the cam specs, head casting and flow specs it's hard to know what the potential is and that's assuming the short block is up to snuff. The carb should be set up on a flow bench because just a couple of degree's on the secondaries with an AFB can make a huge difference in flow, and when you're running a carb that's the equivalent of a 2BRL carb on a motor this size that is very important.
