just thought I'd throw out a shout to everyone.

finally (between everything) I have my car tuned after my cam install. timing is superb and the valves are rockin away. well, almost, I needed to get a new stud nut, one of the old ones liked to work loose. other than that, its ready to RUMBLE. ha! literally. me and dad got it to idle at about 300 when in gear, and she gets up and goes baby form there.

however, on a side note. I know how everyone love holley's riiight, but seriously, it seems as if mine likes to load up just a tad at idle. is there really anyway to solve this. it's nothing really major, but the responsiveness does significantly increase after the first pump of the throtle. jet size maybee??

it should be shined up and ready to go in time for prom.
