True and getting greedy with the pump fuel. I would still be using the 1074's if we had 93 or I mixed in a little 104 like in the past. AFR for the run that blew the gasket was right at 11.8:1, 14#, 23 deg of advance. 9.4 to one comp. It ran 11.6's that night with a bad gasket.

Note: My Cometics seep a little coolent and oil. I am also using head studs.

do you like this car better than the turbo ta?

 

Easier to tune and drive, but the turbo made way more linear power. The supercharger seems to make power on an almost exponential scale (x^2) up to the point the cam goes away.

The first turbo system ran 10:30's at the same boost #'s, but with an auto and stall - I have a six-speed now. Move into the upper teens and it was a very drivable 9 second car on race fuel.

note: now i have AC and PS.

HaHa, I took out all of that stuff..I guess ill be where you were a few years back. i remember I used to ask you questions when i was doing my 383/t88...now im downsizing..but still..I took out my AC bcuz I had it in the car for 2 years and never used it once..maybe a couple of times to see if it worked(my car only has 38,000 miles so it did) but I ripped that out, and I even went as far as taking the heater/blower and all of that out this time...so I dont care about being comfortable..thats what the supra is for...or the nissan..lol..I want this one to go fast and still be able to drive it every day.(im keeping PS though) lol

 

Another vote for Cometics. No seepage or leaks of any kind, but I used Hylomar on them.

 

no leaks for me yet..used copper spray on them
