Majority of my runs had a 1.5~ 60'er but times were slower due to my errors. Only had the car out once last year so I spent the time enjoying the rides and didn't change the tune at all. Running 36 locked advance

curious.....whats the cubes and compression ratio?....race only or street/strip?

agree with others that you are probably pushing thru your converter.....a tight converter may cause you to lose some 60...depending on motor........could just be too much gear and converter combined for motor charictaristics....

[email protected] A little higher than I wanted. I was told I had enough compression to run the cam and it should pull to 6k with my heads. Only running it at the track as its a heat score on the street.

But this brings up another question after I did some reading. I'm running 660 center squirters. They do not come with a power valve and and apparently it is recommended to only change the jet up or down 1 size. Running 72s. From what I read without a pw Holleys tend run rich at top end. Fact or fiction??

Sorry my bad, I misunderstood your combo! I should have asked first, your 462 is a way different animal than my 400. Ooops It moves the power band down the scale. I'd still stick with the ATI Tree Master based on your cam, intake, gear, and CID. All you need to do is compare 455+ cid combos running the Comp 290b cam to yours. Running low 11's high 10's if the heads are right. JD
