    400 at the wheels is going to be a FUN ride in that light car!!!

    Nice A/F ratio, for the most part. Is that thing fuel injected?

    I cannot believe a carb could hold that steady of a ratio over that range of rpms.

    thats actually the bad A/F chart. It leaned out with the cutouts open. It was rock steady at 12.6 with them closed, but down 5 hp/5 tq so I said good enough and left it as is.

    Mighty demon 750 carb

    Thanks

    If you run the same tires at the strip as on that dyno, you'll mostly be making smoke...

    Those are some beautiful headers. What brand and part # are they? How much work did you have to do to make them fit the car?

    The motor looks awesome. Did you have any hood clearance issues?
