yes dcarr, the mph is the biggest facter in hp. i do agree with you that when the bugs are worked out it should be there. i think it was his first time at the track and if was i think he's doing a great job. there's a little to make up in a few spots and if he works on one at a time then it will fly. there could be 3tenths in just locking the dist and setting the timing then add a mech sec carb you could see 4tenths in the front half.
