So if my idle vaccuum is 13 I would divide by 1/2 and add .5 right? I would need a 7 power valve or 6.5 right? I have a 4.5 in there now so maybe thats the culprit....still made 380 RWHP

Mine gets exactly 7.2 MPG cruising around. Dont know on the highway yet...I have a 750DP though with 71/80 jets. I changed them to 68/76 so far because it was so rich. It seemed to help. Can I go lower on the secondaries without trouble. I heard deJetting is not such a good thing because it makes the carb run lean at full throttle under load....Is this true?

The comment V8s are slow.....Im kinda pissed!!!

Thats what Im talking about...great run! Whats the RWHP?
-
LS1 all the way.....

I have a question...I have the 750DP and the stock jetting was 71 front 80 rear. It was rich as piss so I went to 68 front 76 rear so far. It is still rich but not as bad. Should I go down more? What was your stock jet sizes?

Yeah, welcome to Texas! I will be inbound on the 18th. The car ships out on the 10th and will arrive in Dallas around the 21st of November. I can't wait. Good luck in school, it will all be worth it later. By the way, the military does pay 100% tuition up to Bachelors now...

Scottie, I don't why (lol) but I hook up just fine. There is very minimal tire spin (like almost none) when I take off. I am running Nitto extreme drag radials 555r, 275 -50-15s. I really like them alot. They hook well on the street so track should be even better. Is this a rare thing?

Jap Tin, I wish I was going to California so I could see your car. I am going to Texas, 2200 feet elevation. I am at sealevel here in Oki so I am sure I will lose a little power at the higher altitude...

By the way I wouldnt be surprized if you were running 450+ from the rear. The way these guys here are getting power out of there cars, 450 from a twin turbo is a little low....you know who Im talking about. Hell theres a guy I just talked to that says hes putting out almost 400 to the rear from a 20DET turbo 4 banger. Turbos are cool with no limits....I know its all about money

The car went on the port today for that long trip back home. Yeah I know those numbers are just estimates, but theres nothing a little NOS won't cure. Well as long I decide to stay naturally aspirated. Then theres that 383 or 406 thing to ponder...With a little more work 10s should be a piece of cake. I do plan on buying another engine after I get my frame issues and axles issues fixed. Probably a solid rear as well. Hell the skys the limit then. Money is not an issue at this point so it will be fun. I think I should just find a chassis already built and go from there. This car will be my little 11 sec N/A daily driver. I can build a more serious one soon!
What if I turboed a 406?....lol

I was going home today from the hobby shop and a motorcycle pulls in front and starts revving on me looking back. I guess thats because my car sorta looks like the fricken Batmobile. When the light turned green we both floored it and I got in the left lane and when I hit second I was passing him. I had to let off because the cars in front were coming up fast. Man you ought to have seen the look on his face...I think he had a 750 something, not a crotch rocket though....it was fun.
4 and 0...

I met Stony and his gorgeous little daughter last night. I just wanted to say it was a pleasure and wish you and your family a safe trip back to Alaska. I know you can find a way to knock off that last 10th to get into the 10 sec club. I think the solid axle conversion will definately do it for ya! Thanks for the info on snapping stub axles. Kinda scary but Im glad the disk rears are coming, it may save my butt one day. Take care and if I can ever help with anything please ask....
By the way my car asked me who you were and didnt know why a stranger was sitting in the driver seat. After the Zette calmed down, I told her that you were the owner of her older sister. Everything was fine after that....

That really pisses me off. I went to Carrollton near Dallas once in broad daylight and went into the mangers office at an apartment complex for like 3 minutes. The building had big glass windows and all. When I come back out someone had ripped my CB right out of the dash in seconds. I didnt have a clue. This out of my 74 Z ZLine. There were alot of ilegals walking around prior so Im sure it was one of them. Thats why I now will live in the country. I hate fricken thieves...

Man I wish I knew who you were and I wouldve stopped. Thanks for the compliments but I do need a serious paint job when I get back. This one just makes sure the rust doesnt eat it up. Im waiting on the rear disk package from Ross and I just sent him my flanges for the CV upgrade too. After that all I have is paint. Im still waiting on the rollbar...maybe this weekend. If your still here, maybe we can go for a ride. OOOPS no seat belt on the right side yet....oh well..

D75, definately plug all vaccuum lines and then set your throttle cable idle screw in or out to desired RPM and reset your idle air fuel screws again. It should be fine. With open headers its hard to tell whats lope and whats not. After I put my mufflers on most of the lope went away. Open headers sounded like rump rump rump rump....
