selling all my weber stuff as seen and extra intake manifold extra jets emulsion tubes air correctors idle jets synchrometer gunson color tune a second set of short stacks the whole shebang even throw in the weber book as well for small block chev F7 f16 120,225 air 135,200 fuel 120 air idle...

So camshaft change lifters rods and springs go with 42mm chokes is the plan what do you guys think for jets and tubes? Cam shaft recommendations?

Good point I'll have to take a look at everything that's for sure thanks for the great advice everyone greatly appreciated I know a lot of guys would be blaming the webers but I've seen webers lay down good numbers on dynos and honestly if it was the difference of 20-30 hp difference I would...

I think I may have to pull this engine down re check the cam and heads and springs lifters all the good stuff see if there is any signs of reversion in the intake

Nothing spitting out the tops or anything that's what I was wondering too was reversion but I don't think reversion would cost 100hp would it?

Cyl 1 -170psi Cyl 2 -170 psi Cyl 3 - 169 psi Cyl 4 - 171psi Cyl 5 - 169 psi Cyl 6 - 173 psi Cyl 7 - 169 psi Cyl 8 - 170 psi These are wet checks And I think when whoever did the heads they looked fantastic but that doesn't mean anything you might be onto something with the springs and yah...

That may be Robert I'll try that first rerun on a dyno any advice on cam selection I'm gonna go with 42-44mm venturis I know ideal is 115 set lobe separation but I find cams with that separation usually doesn't have a higher lift

Your correct on that on no it's not but I can get that air fuel ratio under controls free the winter but no point in doing anything with that until after I change heads cams and venturis

here is the dyno graph

Yah I think where the ftlbs is coming in at 2500 and pulls to 5100 on the curve my top speed was 140mph I think it is what it is and I'm sure with bigger venturis full rollers and new heads I can pick up some decent gains I was planning on putting new heads on anyways this winter I'm looking at...

Well the jury is back and the numbers are 215hp and 325ftlbs of torque at 5100rpm I guess time to get new heads and cam shaft bigger venturis my curve is nice and my afr on the main circuit is perfect my idle circuit is rich as hell we did 6 pulls consistent with the same numbers give or take a...

So I'm not crazy then with questioning the dyno results?

Hahaha those would be harder to get legal on the roads over here it's easier to plop a 80year old body on a new chassis and be done the heads are coming off and new cam valve train this winter yah there is not any protection from anything in any kinda accident

Yah you can see by the video first link he doesn't look at my tach I was waiting for the mashing of the gas pedal that never happened
