Default Put the Cobra on the Dyno

Some of y'all may remember a post a made awhile ago about getting the power to the ground: Getting the power to the wheels. Since this time I discovered a broken lifter in the front driver side cylinder. The push rod had disconnected and was probably running on 7.5 cylinders. I ordered all new lifters, and got the car back together. After the learning curve of valve adjustment,and fighting header bolts that don't want to stay tight, I got the car running pretty good. I think I can get a few more ponies out of her. I need to fine to timing, new cap and rotor, new plugs, and check the throttle cable. To be honest with you guys, whoever put this motor in could've done a much better job. I've had to correct a lot of little errors under the hood, and there is still more corrections to do. I dynoed about 5 times adjusting the fuel mixture screws by a 1/2 turn until I got the highest hp. Ended up being 1.5 turns. It's a Keith Craft 408 with ~1700 on the clock. Anyways here you go:
