Not Ranked
I guess I'll have to check some things. I just installed a new custom carb from Pro-Systems and am in the process of tuning it. I can tell it has better top end, and haven't got the low transition tuned right yet, so will wait and see how that turns out. I think I will also make a run with no air cleaner to see how the torque feel compares. I have a 14" air cleaner with 2.5" tall K&N element, but what I did to get it to fit under the hood might be causing more restriction than I thought. Exhaust can't be a problem. 2" header pipes to the sidepipes with nothing but spiral turbo baffles, no mufflers. I'm pretty sure I didn't mismatch the parts in the engine; the only internal possibility I can think of is that the timing set was installed in a retarded position and I'm not getting the spark advance that I think I am. Guess I need to read up on how to degree the cam to check this. I know it was installed in the "standard" position, so unless the sprocket was mismarked, that shouldn't be a problem either.
Food for thought. Thanks for that!
