Agreed, Chris' engine fits his personality perfectly. They like to tinker and adjusting valves is a good father/son project.

Well it's a dyno thread so as soon as you actually build something better feel free to post.

I have a dumb idea about running my motor on a different fuel.

I know it is a dumb idea because it is DG's idea.

Really something Dave came up with?

Yes I am running with one of his ideas

Despite knowing better I am going back to the dyno with some different pump gas the first week of March.

There is the smallest of chances DG may actually dyno his motor that same month. I doubt it but anything is possible.

I don't blame ya for wanting to close the gap a little bit. I'd hate to get beat by a 100+ in this contest too.

Oh your machinist bill will easily beat me by $100+ before that thing ever runs .... no chance of me closing that gap.

Is this thread dead or what?

I heard that big cube FE was going for a "do over" since someone wasn't happy with the numbers first time around.

DG wouldn't you be the one with the "do over" motor

My FE is going back on the dyno tomorrow. The starter on the dyno took a crap last time so I didn't get to fully test the 4150 carb that was built for the motor. Then I lost my mind and bought into some knuckleheads alternative fuel idea.

So tomorrow it goes on the dyno for a baseline run with my 1050 then some tuning runs with the 4150 on gas.

Then a few runs with the new carb on E85. I couldn't make it for this session.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
