-removing all vacuum actuators and vacuum lines except for the vacuum advance that i kept on only to keep highway temps down (Advance is locked in @ 28 degrees)
Eldo,
I don't understand what you mean above. If the timing is locked how does keeping the vac advance help cool the motor?
Great write up BTW. This thing must really be impressive!
Cruising at highway speeds with less timing (Like 28 degrees will run hotter then with the vacuum advance pulling in an extra 15 degrees) My locked timing setup allows for the vacuum advance rod to pull in the extra advance.( Only the advance weights are welded to the advance plate leaving the advance plate free to rotate when the vacuum advance rod pulls on it.)
It is stupid fun when you hit 6500 rpms and the 13 pounds of boost hits! If G-tech reads 100.5 mph while slipping in the wet to run a 15.32, it should e.t. pretty good in the dry.
