Hi Folks,
Spent the day out a Maryland Performance
Center watching George fit a little tuning time
into running the business. This round of dyno
numbers for Ol'Beastly's new motor is looking up.
Keep in mind these are rear wheel numbers for a 306
on pump gas; I'll just touch on the highlights:
RPM Ft/Lb HP
3394 305 197
4030 317 243
4955 318 300
5194 322 318 Torque "Peak"
6810 274 355 Hp Peak
George thinks I may need to switch to a smaller
carb (running 780 CFM Holley with the choke horn
removed at the moment) as its lean and sluggish
below 3000 RPM, so we'll be trying a 650 HP series
carb on it next week some time. Today we went
down one jet size on each corner, reduced the
mechanical advance in the distributor and set the
timing with more initial advance, but still only
33 degrees total advance. Given the progress
a couple of simple tuning changes have made (we
picked up 49 HP), I can hardly wait to see where
the numbers end up. Now, if I could just get
George's undevided attention... Oh wait, I cant
afford that.
All the Best! Dave ;^)
