how many jets sizes did you move ? what carb, fuel system?
its a 850 holly that flows like 930cfm's it had 146's x 4 and went down to 142's x 4 and it ran much better. we just pulled it apart and put 140's in it and we will see this weekend :wink:

correct, better to start fat and move slowly...but still make a real change to see if it helps :wink:

yeah.... its getting there.....it ran 9.43 @ 144.67 mph and was 180 deg when he got back to the pits. its a 1/4 mile track with 3000 feet of shut down plus a long as return road and it still was only 180 after all that.... so we jetted it down to 140's square :wink:
