Thanks again!
I've had this particular engine in here for nearly 6 yrs so I've had plenty of time to tinker with other things to make it quicker without "really" adding power. Honestly, I'm at a point I want to do something drastic, like aftermarket heads or turbo, something, it's just not in the cards. I did get a HX35 given to me, but then found out it was too small and then the car needed alot of other things BEFORE the turbo so that went wayside. I really think this set up would respond AMAZINGLY to forced induction since it is a blower cam I'm currently running. I did have a custom cam ground for it over the winter but have not installed it yet. For one, I wanted to get it on the dyno before hand, for second, I'm afraid of the ptv clearance and being able to check it w/out pulling the heads, for thirds
I'm afraid it is going to kill my daily driving abilities and feel like a slug down low since it was intended as a drag only cam to make it's power between 4000-6500. I have another explorer engine with GT40 heads sitting ready to be built back up and I'm thinking about just holding off on the cam for this one, but I would sure like to see what the cam can do in this set up.
On the other two pulls I pulled 2 degrees of timing upstairs for one pull, didn't like it, then I put my timing back and leaned it out to 12.8:1, didn't like it, so I guess next time on there I'll have to go the other route, but from testing at the track it's pretty much where it seems to like it. The thing I'm curious about is the drop at about 3600 rpm. I'll have to look at my datalogs and see what's going on there, I'm not sure if it's spark or fuel but if I can get that curve to continue to follow beyond 3600 that would be great!
