Thread: new video of engine reving

Tweet

Here it is reving up a little,about 5000 rpm.........I think it sounds good for what it is.....305 .030 ,xe 262 cam,rhodes lifters,roller rockers,rams horns.

sounds pretty nice.... as denny said, could use some minor carb adjustments..... one thing i would reccomend though is even with a warm engine, you really should never bring it past 3500 rpms without a load.... when theres no load it brings risks of breaking things.... really if your engine is built tough enough it should be ok, but thats just what ASE tells us

I'm staying "turned" for the burnouts.

Move it to the top hole or bottom hole for a bigger pump shot ?I have it in the middle now......also the video was in the hands of my brother...the engine was not quite warmed up.
Its no track racer /rice killer ...but I think I will enjoy.....

Gatta get the important things done first...like burnouts!!!!Then I can finish the body work.......I will not do too many burnouts once the body work is done.Too much risk of damage when the tire comes apart at 0 mph ground speed and it sayes 100 on the speedo
I have seen what they do at 65 when they seperate,...not pretty.I think a truck fares the worst on blow outs too,it pretty much tears em up.

Thnx,Denny, once again...!!

yep the motor wasnt quite warmed up yet, also shawn mentioned the video lacked footage at Idle, i must confess it was my fault.
if anyone would like to hear it at idle just let me know, i still have about 5-7 minutes of video unseen.

Hey shawnlee I pm'd ya
