Time to crank it up...lol

I know I have the WRONG rear gear, plans are to change the gearing
I hit the governor, at 2/3 track
crank up the pump, change the valve springs and gov spring.

Thats freaking awesome. Which 12v is it? PPump or VE pump? That thing really sticks its ass in the air while at the line.
 
On the other side of the spectrum (fuel mileage), I know of a '69 Sport Satellite Wagon with a Getrag 360, pulling early 30s MPG with a 4bt.
It gets out of it's own way very well, too.

Mark.
 
I think I had about 4 turns on mine before it started to run away, but every motor is different, so keep a clipboard handy...that was worth about 70hp, then timing is another 30-40hp, so you have a long ways to go even for free. C12H26 went high 11's with a ton of spray basically for free in his 1st gen, so you should at least be able to swing that if nitrous is ok.

Thanks' for the info

am changing the gear
removing the collar, for the power screw,
and advancing the timing
I did jump a tooth , while doing the KDP
but had set the pump back to stock time.

also have 12- 60lbs springs, and a 3800 gov spring

Was reading, that it might be a good idea to replace the retainers and keepers too ??????

Here's the very first pass ( first time for my camera guy too)

If that is the factory air box you'll probably want to drill a bunch of holes in it to get more flow
 
Nice project.
Try the 4200 gov spring.
Pay attention to pinion angle. Start 6 down.
Get a trans brake.
