I see now I see

Why the granny shift ?

Redline that **** mad quick yo lol

Rutnick

exactly what is that showing me?

cdrad51

The jump in the rpms at around 5k rpm when the mech secondaries open.

cdrad51

Didn't redline it because I'm having some issues at the top rpm band. I'm trying to figure it out but it looks like it boils down to the fact that I need to upgrade ignition.

Or do you mean why the pause between speeds? that's because I'm steering and shifting with the same hand.

If you'd put that friggin' cell phone away you could drive with both hands.

Bob Holton

RotaryRyan

Its like 1.96 for regular

cdrad51

if you're having problems towards redline/topend... a failing fuel pump could be the problem

as of last month.. my red line's only @ 4k before the car bogs.. time for new fuel pump along w/ filter... LOL

cdrad51

I hear you. 4k rpm is where my engine starts to bog. Fuel pump is almost new, stock as far as pressure (2-3.5 psi) and 1700 cc per hour against 1400 cc stock. Still, with the monster fuel jets and the streetport, fuel pump might be insufficient. Just changed fuel filter on Saturday just in case. That wasn’t it. New dizzy cap and rotor. That wasn’t it. So I’m going to give a little oomph to the ignition with Blaster 2’s to see if that handles it. If that doesn’t handle it, then I guess it’ll be a bigger fuel pump and a FPR.

d0 Luck

gotcha.. but are you running what fuel pump?? if carter fuel pump, then that could be the case since they don't have a really high flow rate compared to holley.. and since you are s/p, go figure!

cdrad51

It's a Purolator.

d0 Luck

i guess it's time for new one

holley good, but a bit too loud for my taste when it pumps

cdrad51

what about Mallory?

d0 Luck

hmm... never tried mallory before.. ask wacko he should know
