Got in the garage today and found that the dizzy was 1 tooth off and my fuel pressure was at about 35 at idle and would actually drop if held at higher RPM.

Put the regulator in and adjusted to 40 PSI, re-stabbed the dizzy and timed to 15* base timing and life is good. Just wanted to say thanks to all who chimed in when i needed so encouragement.

Seems to pull really hard down low and through the mid range, Going to the track next Wednesday to she what she has.

Doesn't matter how you describe the problem or cure - bottom line is it got cured and you can now enjoy it. Best of luck at the track.

Thanks for all your help.......It still is not what i thought it would be, I will have to fine tune it at the track and see what i can do. Maybe its just that the power range is a little differnt, who knows. I enjoy fussing with it

congrats on getting it worked out. let us know what it runs

i cant wait to see what it runs because i have not totally thrown out the budget build idea yet

Well i am not really looking for times right now so much as i am trap speeds. i know my 60' is going to suck so i am shooting for MPH till i get a set of ET streets. I'll let you know how i make out.

 

[tmoss]

yep, look at your mph, but still give it your best.

Oh no doubt i am going for the best time i can, but you know what i am saying.

awesome man, glad you fixed it, get some times! Id hope for atleast low-mid 13's on street tires.

Flavadave what size Fuel Injectors, MAF,and TB are you running? Are you running a CAI or just a drop in K&N Filter. Thanks man....just wondering for my own setup

stock MAF, injectors, and TB........K&N conicle filter on the intake tube.

 

[tmoss]

A bigger MAF and 65mm TB should be in your not too distant future........

i haven almsot an identical combo. thumpers, tmoss and i have a B-cam advanced 4 degrees.

around 40 psi of FP at idle with line off and plugged has worked best for me.
i am also running around 15deg base timing. i had the same issues. i had to really work with timing a FP to dial it in. the fp and timing setting work great for a stock engine, but need tweaking when u up the ante with better flowing heads and intake and cam, mine runs great and i am sure yours does too!

mine starts pulling hard around 3k and pulls all the way to 5500-5600 and screams lol

and u need to get setup with a new MAF and TB. i am still running a stock TB(not for long) but i did upgrade my MAF, i got the vortech (same as C&L) on summit for cheap. calibrated for 19lbers and its 73mm i did notice a small differencer, not a whole lot in the SOTP, since i am still sucking air through the stock TB. but i could tell the engine was breathing a tad bit better.

Once i get a bigger TB, 70 i decided on i hope to feel a small gain, the TB will be able to handle the more airflow the MAF is giving. just got to try and see.

good luck. get those track times so i can know what to expect with my combo.

Why did you advance the cam??? I know all about advancing and retarding and personally would have retarded it to get that extra top end!

I advanced the TFS1 2* because i am looking for more low end......
