hi Ed thanks for the reply,
Engine management is MS3 Pro..an ongoing learning curve for me but I'm getting it figured out.
I'm running 100 octane gasoline but have Fast fuel injectors installed 160lb-hr each so can run methanol which is available here, i did wire in a GM flex fuel sensor but have not activated it yet I'm guessing when the time comes i will have two tunes one for street with gasoline and one for race with Methanol.
The cams were installed in Std position i wanted to see how it would run before advancing or retarding anything.
I do realize that my choice of car is very un orthodox this is because i just like the unusual and a challenge :laugh: i will definitely take your advise on sneaking up on power and speed...I used to run a big block austin Healy and that was a handful until i finally got it to stick.
i cut down a ford 9" and installed a back brace and Yukon aluminum pumpkin with strange gears and solid spool, strange 31 spline axles strange 4 piston brakes, front end is strange struts and brakes, make my own 5 link rear end that has quick disconnect coil overs so i can drop it far enough to change the tires.
The chassis turned out very well car runs straight and true, i did do a sneaky stretch of the wheel base to 90" ...i did not want to destroy the appearance of the car so i moved the the fender wheel arches forward and aft respectively rather than stretching the whole car.
The car has almost exact same weight on all 4 corners and its grip is outstanding so far, but that will no doubt change if and when i can make more power off the line.
with regard to head choices...it was more of lets see what i can do with what i have already and now having build a special manifold for B heads I've kinda tied myself to that early decision...also a pair of B heads can be bought for $150 where as GT 500 are $$$$.
After studying your cam article i would appear that one of my biggest issues is the Cam choice, if you are able to give guidance on phasing what i have to produce a significant improvement then great, but if they are really totally unsuitable i will have to bite the bullet and buy new ones!..maybe i can use the old ones in either my studebaker Hawk or 56 F100, both of which will have ford Modulars
Oh the low boost i mentioned was just to protect my first engine which was a completely stock Mk8 engine...i did not want to grenade a good teksid block with those powdered metal rods, remarkably it held up very well.
