    Well, at this point, we each have a 50% chance of winning. I like those odds.:D

    No matter what happens a Buick owner wins.

    Well gents, the results are in.

    I'll put the printouts up tomorrow..........but the figures are 464hp @ 5300rpm and 518lbs/ft @ 4100rpm with 450lbs/ft from 2000rpm.

    Not quite what some were expecting but about what my research said this combo should do given the cam is torque biased and set 4 degrees retarded.

    AFR shows it a little lean (14) up to 2400rpm and down in the 12's by 2650rpm. I'll be talking to AED Carbs to see if this can be remedied. Maybe a bigger pump shot?

    The timing was set at 12° initial and 32° total. We tried varying this but these settings proved to be the best. The engine didn't like any more or any less.

    For those that are interested I'll upload the video to YouTube.

    And finally if Brandon would like to pm me his email address I'll arrange for the Summit gift card to be delivered.

    Thoes numbers are a little better than a stage 1 car in a Land Rover that will be fun.
