[QUOTE=Glenn Sedig;4631844]New inserts where tried at Cordova on Fri and Sat for the West Q-8 bracket race. Stars where aligned correctly and won the race....this engine has never been this consistant except for the first several runs after changing the head gaskets.

Fri 4500 launch rpm--------60ft

1st run-8.82 @153.96-----1.302
2-------8.84 @153.30-----1.303
3-------8.83 @153.61-----1.293

Sat 5500 launch rpm

1st------8.76 @152.76-----1.241
2--------8.77 @153.44-----1.250
3--------8.76 @153.70-----1.252 elimination run
4--------8.75 @153.35-----1.253 elimination run
5--------8.75 @153.65-----1.246 elimination run

For the car to be this consistant I am quite sure there was no insert problem or head gasket leak. We are checking leak down today.../QUOTE]

Stellar results. LETS begin to ponder the berylium bridge connection to consistency. Cool running allow 4 CYLS to fire better (at proper advance)?
