Excuse my ignorance, just trying to learn here...

Why is this oil pressure scary? Lowest I see on the video is 44 psi. Held over 50 psi throughout the pull, then on deceleration dropped briefly to 44 then back up.

Pull acceleration:
3300 rpm = 63 psi
4000 = 64 psi
4500 = 56 psi
5000 = 53-54 psi
5500 = 53 psi

On deceleration:
5500-5400 = 47 psi
5300 = 45 psi
5200 = 44.8 psi
5100 = 45 psi
5000 = 46 psi
4800 = 50 psi
4600 = 53 psi
4000 = 53 psi
3500 = 53 psi
3200 = 54 psi


educate me!

X3 on being LEAN & oil pressure.
A general rule of thumb is 10PSI per 1,000rpm. i.e. 5,000=50PSI. Was oil level correct?
I had trouble with lean situation my recent dyno session. Did you pull plugs ? Dyno sheet showed rich..plugs showed borderline LEAN. You can't play with timing much with a lean condition. when I got close on mixture we increased timing 2* (31 total) and found 18 more HP and moved HP band UP !!
I'm sure there is more in yours as well but watch OP & lean condition..

Matt--once you get the carb calibrated for your engine and tuned, to include timing, you'll make a bit more power throughout the engine range. Troy's comment about finding more power is true--tuning will do that. Be patient, take one step at a time.
