Tim. Great interview. Thanks for sharing.
David Z. dropped by and returned the 650 Speed Demon yesterday. Did you get a chance to try it on the engine? On a sidenote, your head gaskets will go out today.
Yes Ted, we did try it on the engine. It showed slightly lower on the HP (1 or 2) and a little higher on the torque (4 or 5) but the throttle was not set up for our linkage and the fuel line needed to be modified. I do think with some tuning it may have work well but we ran out of dyno time and when the truck was put away it wasn't coming out till Bonneville so we just didn't have the time. I think in the future we may change carbs. but I just wanted to get it back to you. Thank you very much for the help, your input is always appreciated.
God Bless.
