You can always do what I did, George: set a goal to reach the sevens and head for a fast track on a test and tune night. Of course, a Birdcatcher would help, too.

Yea it’s that fuel thing, I need to send carbs off to be redone.....$600 a piece! One of those East coast Drag Strips in 50 degree temps should be good for easy 7.70’s! LOL!

I bought my used Birdcatcher for less than $1200. By the way, I've got a 4.1" Toilet you could borrow. I'm not sure one would do it, though. I looked into that when I switched to a blower and decided the Birdcatcher is the easier way to go. It would bolt to your blower. You would probably want to add port injectors, though, in addition to hat injectors so you could tune each cylinder separately.

You're right, the east coast downhill mineshaft air tracks make it easier. I run my 7's with a DA over 5,000' here in Tucson.
