Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
It has a M20... the motor is running out of fuel on the top, plus the points are bouncing at 7200...

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
It may ET better at 6500-6700 rpm's. Are you running at least a 4:56? I am running 72's and 78's in the 780. Mine feels the strongest at about 6700 with a 4:10 rear and an M21. Mine needs at least a 4:56 to feel like anything. Its a dog!!

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
I like blocking the rear PV on our 780s...it seems a lot more consistent. You sure that thing is running out of fuel?

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
The plugs are awfully white... Didn't have any larger jets with us last night...
Only have a 4:10... How much worse would 4:56's be driving on the street? 4:88-5:13's would really pick it up. OBTW- 2.00 60 foot times...

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
Hey Rob when you block the PV how many jet sizes do you need to go up?

Re: Black RS/Z & the 1/8 mile... any suggestions?
We have 4.56s in the Sub, and they ain't a whole lot worse...unless you're gonna be doing extended freeway duty? I think a jump of 6-8 is the rule of thumb, but I'd have to check my notebook to see where ours fell...our L72 is probably jetted a *lot* smaller than most of you guys would guess...
