thanks smokin lowrider. i think im going to make one more river trip next weekend then pull the motor for a dyno tune before i start messing around spending money on anything else. thanks
Thx for the reminder of the PM from a while back. I had a build on your engine saved already. DD is only as good as the info I can feed it, and some of yours is pretty sketchy. You need to put her on a dyno and see exactly what's happening, and where. I bet with some time & knowledgable effort, you find the HP you're missing.
Also, beware, it's my understanding (others'll correct me if I'm off base here but it's what I've always heard) that the best HP mixtures on a dyno run will wind up too lean for regular driving, by a dangerous step or 2. That might be old-days before the O2 sensor mixture correctings came in to play, I do not know. If they are well set with genuine O2 readings, I'd think they'd be fine.
