Whoa..

Wanna Race??

George Anderson at Guessford Machine is the FE god, but there is no magic in making a 427 run. Experience is important though.. I am using a guy here in Calif. that worked for the grouch putting together the original 289 FIA motors before he was drafted in 1966. But you really need someone close to you.

Zimmy.. I think you have too much cam (wrong cam?) and way too much ignition (good for the wrong cam) The cam duration is pulling down your compression with the intake and exhaust opening at the wrong point.. Just a thought. Put the old cam back in and try that.

What were your compression numbers?

Regards,
