your 502 has smaller intake runners if it is the zz502 . this car is heavy less it hase a lot of glass parts the RPM need to go up so the cam and cr needs to go up to so the heads will work better .i may be off on this but have seen this before .what size headers? what size EX. how tall is the rear tires ? is the stall 3000? or is it junk??

The car has a "glass " front clip on it and the interior ia done in aluminum.He says it weighs 3,300 with him in it.The tires are 29 inches tall.Header tube size is 2 inch.He has 3.5 inch dia. pipe all the way back to some Hooker Aero Chamber exhaust.

the small carb will not hurt low end. yes it needs more than 32 on timing try 36 put 10 on the crank and 26 in the dist if msd try the one ligth blue spring and one ligth silver spring this is the way i set them up and it works good. them 29 tires are killing him

He has the 36 dialed in now.I am unsure of the advance springs.He only has room for the 29 inch tires.

the 29 tall tires are taking a way from the gear it would work better with a 430 or 456 gear and then the 850 cfm carb will work better and the big runners heads .i think the stall on it my not be working very good on 112 lsa i think the stall may not be good have seen this to it will hold down the engine

I just got the word.For some reason 1st gear was not working and the car was leaving in 2nd gear, something about the manual valve body.Guess what now it leaves hard.

kewl beans

i did not think trans or stall was not working i guess not having first gear would kill the low end on it but i still think a bit more gear would help if he can stick it

eric, are you serious, this knucklehead didn't know that the car was only shifting once????

That was the message he left me.He claims it sets you back in the seat.He also said it feels like his old 383 did on N2o.
