So, what tire pressure do you start with in the rear's and front's? I thought the rears got 15-18, and the fronts got 40 psi??

What about a blocked power valve in the secondary of the Holley's? Is that as beneficial as I'm being told? Before I had my Holley 'concoursed', I had a block in the sec's, and the car would really come-on at about 2500 rpm - but I couldn't keep the tires under it. I later read in the Holley book that this scenario is caused by a lag in the fuel delivery, and although it feels cool, it's not the best way to set up the carb. So, I've not re-installed the block, it's not breaking the tires loose, but it takes longer to get the same seat-of-the-pants power.

I won't know what this thing will do for sure until Spring, then I will have a chance to take it out and test a few things. Even if I don't make it to one of the Pure Stock events, I'll get it to my local track.

So, Casey, I just might pull up next to you in the other lane one of these years [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
