Yeah, understood but, I did buy all of my rotating assy from them, granted I did put it together myself though.

How are these systems with alcohol as far as being an "on or off" system? Is there still any manners left in the car? My Ron's system is very easy to cruise around with and was wondering if these systems are cruisable. The biggest reason I ask is because I don't pull the car to the line or...

Thanks for the input. Do you know of anyone who has switched from a Ron's system to the tunnel ram and what they saw for gains? Do you have to play with your barrel valve at all from one weekend to another or did ya set it and never have to mess with again? Was the set up easy to tune?

30* sounds a bit cold - have you verified it's for sure 30*? 36-42* around that range is a bit more common for a inline head small block even on Alky. Does it MPH best at 30 or something? Scott, make sure and put plenty of timing in yours next time we line up together, don't want a repeat of last t...

So is lower timming numbers normal for alky? I'm so used to gas motors that want 36 - 40 or so and was wondering if it's normal on alky motors and why they like less timming.

I have a quick question for the alky users. What are your running for timming in you engines? Mine seems to like about 30*. Is this normal?

drill a hole in the intake, install a valve like a drain petcock open it to make a lean high idle to build heat screw closed works good.. X2 and get the engine to atleast 220* so you don't have the milk shake oil. I run mine up to 220 and hold that temp for about 2 or 3 min, shut down and heat soak...

I would say to leave the line at 180 and get the engine to have a 10 degree rise in temp during the run. My guess from what you are saying is that, yes you are a little rich. Do you have an EGT in the car? Now, I'm also not an expert at this, but that's what I have been told to shoot for with my car...

Exactly!! Just try differant points to see where your car "wants" to be shifted.

For me, I can't short shift. Tried it and the car slowed. My car likes to be shifted at about 8000 rpm.
