Some of the specs I don't know. The guy who did 80% of the work to the 'bird left town and never turned over the receipts or build sheets. I believe the compression to be up around 12:1. It won't run on premium gas without engine ping under acceleration. It is an iron 383 with aluminum Brodix heads. Mighty Demon 650 carb on top of a Victor Jr. intake. I want to take it to a dyno soon, it should push close to 500 hp at the rear wheels. Comp Cam's online computer estimates (at the crank) 569 hp at 6500, 516 torque at 5000. The MSD 6AL has a 6500 RPM limiter pill installed, which based on the estimated curve should be just right. The factory 10 bolt is spooled and has 4.11 gears. I'm not sure what all has been done to the 700R4, it shifts hard, but like I said the torque converter is not correct for the engine or car. 3" duals through Flowmaster 40s.

Now that you mention it, I was having run-on issues before going through the carb. Haven't had any run-on since, although last night was the first time I've run the car in weeks. It's going to be hard to get much more advance without some thought, I'm having distributor clearance issues against the firewall when turning up the advance more than it is now.

Luckily, the rear tires are not sticky, otherwise I'm afraid I'd have a twisted body or broken rear axle. I need to get those subframe connectors done soon! Also, I have a line on a 12 bolt out of a first gen Camaro, offered $200, waiting on a response.

If the weather is decent this weekend, I'm sure we will at least get it out for a while.
