RE: Made some dyno runs today
I am Adder, I am. 
On the other hand, Im glad I found out how lean I am running, or else I eventualy would have ended up blowing it. I was telling the dyno guy the same thing about the GT-40 setups. There are 3 things that are REALLY killing me.
1) E-303 cam
2) Original Edelbrock Performer manifold
3) 150k mile bottom end
As soon as I get back to La., Im gonna pick up another 5.0 block and have it machined. Im going to build a 347 in my house. When Im ready, Im going to sell my heads, cam, and intake and buy some Twisted Wedges, custom cam, and a Victor Jr manifold. My cousin in Houston has a shop and builds race cars and he is going to port everything for me. Im shooting for 370 out of it.
I was going to buy my neighbor's (La.) 91 GT for $800 and put my current motor/tranny in it and build a 408 for my LX (which I still have the 351 block). I had already called and talked to him and he said he would hold on to it for me. Well, my brother called me from back home and the guy GAVE it away![:@]

RE: Made some dyno runs today
thats right about the same numbers i made with my gt-40 setup, and found out i was running lean. when he fattened it up in the higher rpms, i lost 8 hp, but i can rev all i want safely now. btw, you should be making alot more power than that i would think. its still enough to have fun with though
