What's the 60' like?
Spinning?
Or lazy?
Bogging?

Front coming up a lot or not at all?

What launch RPM?

Felt lazy. Checked pinion angle when I got home and it'was at less than -1 . I have set it at - 3 now. Haven't made it back to the track yet. Dont know how much the pinion angle affects the launch.

From your Norwalk time slip you are two tenths slower in the 60’ by comparison to Bill Meyer (m591) in the other lane but almost equal mph. The good news is you are making good power. Now you need to translate that to your 60’. Usually starting line ratio and converter changes will be required to optimize your combination.

Agree.
Darby, your previous Jones cam was pretty similar to this?

Jones solid roller 4/7 swap. 316/320 adv. 263/269 @ .050 on a 110 LSA installed at 106 ICL, .421/.412 lobes. Using 1.6 rockers


Did you break 9's with it?
