New personal best :)

#1 Post by Volvo240GLT » Sun Apr 19, 2009 12:50 pm

Two weekends ago I got in the 14s for the first time with a 14.91s! Today, first run 14.66, second run 14.57 :) I'm frustrated with the distributor on this car but before the first run I dropped it to 34* total from previously trying 36-40 and it seemed to like that. Between first and second run I changed the main jets from 66s to 64s but couldn't tell any difference on the A/F gauge.

Have tried to change the trans shift a little bit after I got home and I also think jetting down the secondaries a bit will work even better so maybe a 14.4 ahead. Not bad for a car that all the calculator say should run 15.2s! :)

Wanted to get new heads for it this spring but have been un-employed over winter. Next year hopefully and I'll be deep into the 13a :)
