Need carb/ignition tuning advice.
Hello everyone,
This is my first post (obviously) I need some advice on getting my car to run right. About 4 years ago, I put a Recon reman 350 in my camaro, and all the stuff you see in my sig. I've got it to idle and run alright, but it's lacking power a little.
No, I don't expect a 13 second car with my current setup, but I'd love to see the mid-high 14's.
The engine internals are completely stock. Stock cam also. I do not know the compression ratio either.
It was bogging badly when I dropped the throttle, and then it would pick up great. But it's always breaking up around 4,000-4,500 rpm.
With my current timing advance: 18 deg. BTDC and the carb setup as it is (I did change the jets and metering rods), it still bogs (not as bad), but the high rpm break-up is still there.
Anyone know what I can do to get the most out of my setup?
Thanks!
EDIT: Last summer I ran a best of 15.33 @ 90.81mphLast edited by TRSCobra; 03-04-2006 at 09:39 AM.
