As I got more aggressive the handling got trickier and trickier. I spun 4 times in nearly the same place. I think I was getting the brake pedal just as I wanted to hit the throttle to plant the rear and accelerate to the next corner. Embarrasing. the car did look and sound great though!
I think I'm gonna put in a whole new pedal cluster. This is not a car you want to be hitting the wrong pedal on. The carb worked fine but needed to be very very warm before it really acted right. It needs to show about 200 degrees to work right.
It was a bit frustrating but nothing broke or fell off and I did not do any damage to the car or myself so it was a good day!  |
That could mean you are lean, and leaving power on the table.
Get some better management on inlet air to the carbs, and then they might need to go a bit richer.
