Well guys I finally went to the track on 11-13-09 and made a few passes. This was the first time out and absolutley no tune on the carb. I made 2 regular passes and shot it a 175 shot on one pass. It was about 40 degrees and the track was real loose. I'm going to make a cam change and then put it on the chassis dyno to tune it. Well here are 2 of the 3 runs, let me know what you guys think.

Thanks guys! I talked with my engine builder last night and he suggested that I pull the carb apart and check to see if the power valves are still in it. I wasn't sure how Barry Grant stage III 4150 Holley carbs came so I'm going to check later today. There is one more test and tune this weekend coming up but snow may be flying. LOL

The 60' didn't change much at all from NA to a 175 shot.
Were you spraying it from the hit or after you got out past the 60' mark?
How is your converter set up?

Nice times though:rock:

I was spraying it right off the line with a WOT switch.
