Oh I don't really use 9 gallons per session buddy - just pulling your leg.... But it is 9 gallons per fill up ---- and that's about 2 sessions... so 4.5 to 5 gallons per is similar to what you're seeing.

Gaetano ---- Regardless of all the gas and timing discussion ---- you need to FIND the right timing for YOUR motor. That could be 32* or it could be 36* and anywhere in-between.


I don't think you can find that with just seat of the pants driving. And damage can occur if you get it wrong - so it's more than just a little important.

dyno time is the only imho. Your engine numbers and AFR's will tell you what it wants.

Yeah I get it. Joe said the same thing when he was dyno tuning my motor. 32.5* total is what he came up with. Don't know or remember exactly how he came to that conclusion but we made over 20 pulls and a few changes and he would pull spark plugs and inspect them with some sort of spark plug magnifying scope gismo.
I'm trying to schedule Joe for a chassis dyno tune at Sonoma the Friday before the event since I put another distributor in and the springs on the original distributor don't look the same as the ones I'm using now.

Don't forget we can schedule a chassis dyno session with Joe over at Borelli's. They can set up fo AFR's and it may save down time. Aaron say saturdays would be good.

GOOD 'cause it's way cheaper than new motors.

That sounds good Vince as long as its convenient for Joe. Joe lives over by Sonoma. Where is Borelli's located?

He would be down for a dyno day. Especially if he can schedule a few cars and rent the dyno for a full day and give him time to prep.
