Well today was the day that Michelle raced the fairlane.She fell right into the groove after a few runs,actually when i opened the headers she got comfortable she liked being able to hear the motor i guess she did because by her 3rd run she ran the best ET so far
1.698-----60ft
8.00------1/8 et
84.76-----1/8 mph
12.629----1/4 et
105.88----1/4mph

so the tuning progressed i fattened the primaries up more but no gain some loss so i decided to kick the timing up to 38 before i'd go back on the jets (timing was easier too..lol)she spun the tires some leaving a few turns so it hurt 60 and 1/4 et but picked up to 106.61 from 105.88 the rest of the day turned into somekinda nightmare after a simple jet change and now it sounds like its running on 6 cyls.The carb al of a sudden went seriously south on me so i guess i'll have to tear into it this week before it goes to the body shop
sorry for the long one
Dennis

Good job Dennis!

Have you figured out what went wrong at the end yet? Don't forget to check the ignition system too.
