Well that makes more sense knowing that. Your bad O2 really doesn't play a role in WOT. If anything it would add extra fuel.

yea your bad O2 definetly would not make ur car lean. Everyone's obviously telling you to check your rod length by someone else, so go do it, the ones you have are obviously way to long.

Dude, your pushrods are too long. I dont know if that could result in valve float, but there's a pretty good chance.

I can't believe your pushrod length. I wonder if you've figured it out yet? hmmm

There are far more people running a similar setup without problems, then there are with problems. You don't seem to understand how or why pushrods that are too long cause these kind of problems. I don't see how you are running those pushrods, it doesn't add up to me. A had a previous engine builder measure pushrod length, and because he wasn't used to hydraulic roller setups his measurement was off .150". FWIW my LT1 required 7.150" pushrods with OEM lifters, and 7.250" with Morel lifters.

Pushrods first, then springs. Never make two changes at once.

Wait... What?

7.45" is entirely too long! 7.2" is stock. With a milled head, thinner head gaskets, and a decked block would take you to below 7.15".

we have been telling him this for 2 threads and over a week yet he refuses to believe us because his "builder" says that cant be true


other than needing a new builder you need shorter pushrods, if your just to lazy to check them swap them for a set of 7.150 rods and take it for a ride and let us know how that goes
