Tuning 428 for throttle response
I'd like to tune my 428 for more low end throttle response and could use some help! It is in a 2500 lb cobra replica and seems to lag a little on the bottom end....up to 3000 rpm. If I launch the car leaving at 1500 or more there is no problem but if I let the clutch out and put the petal to the floor it will break the tires loose but just feels sluggish .
Engine: 428 .40 over,10.5 comp, C4 heads w/cj valves ported (280 cfm @ .600 lift) Isky 8005a springs, MR 2x4 w/600 vac holleys, Ford dist with Petronix 18 int and 38 total and Comp 282S cam....WR top loader and 3.50 gears.....any suggestions?
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
