It runs the same mph every pass; but it's hard to go quicker than 6.50.

Can some of the Gurus chime in with some go fast tips.
Nice, I am also running the TII trans.- Nice shifting. Did you do any internal mods to the trans or is it stock?

Yeah Joey carbs are very underated except in the V8 world. The Puerto Ricans still run a lot of carb cars and have some very fast rides with them too.

Stock trans....just make sure your clutch is completely disengauging.

gas vs e85?

How much faster did you get switching from gas to e85?

I finally got a good rearend so I decided to go to my local 1/8th track for testing. Here's a breakdown of my best timeslip.
60ft: 1.36
330ft: 4.18
1/8th: 6.34
1/8thmph: 112

Here's the vid.

About 3 mph faster in the 1/8th on the same boost.
