95% of my weight is fuel
So I gave up tuning my car fro now and handed it over to Lito. So far we are making progress...slowly.
In my mind I should be able to stomp the loud pedal and at least spin the tires a little.
I have 4.30 gears and a FTI 9.5 inch converter with a 3800 rpm stall (4r70W swap)
The power comes on like a 2 stroke, slow to get rolling and then just GOES!
I realize the cams (mutha thumpr 127020) play a role in this power curve but the gears and converter should be taking car of that low end deficiency. Before you start bagging on the cams as a the problem here, I have had plenty of "built" cars with less power and smaller converters with taller gears that could roast the tires on command. My last street truck with a shitty B cam in a small block 306 and 10" ATI 3400 stall converter comes to mind, and that truck had a tiny 600CFM vacuum secondary carb on it with a very basic HEI ignition system I didn't even tune the curve on.
If i don't use the line lock she ain't spinning tires, it's embarrassing.
To be honest I'm getting sick of constantly messing with this car and it always being out of whack, I just want to start racing and it's feeling like a huge waste of time and money to constantly be in this state of purgatory.
I haven't even sprayed it yet, I have this mega dollar Nitrous Outlet system complete with the ProMax and all I've done is hit the purge...shit is depressing.
