Thread: 379 small block set-up check

Tweet

I know this had began last year but I finally tried the car at the track last sunday
engine setup is as the above except for the rods that are 6.125. I also installed a enderle mechanical fuel injection Bugcatcher that I ran 94 oct gas with little of octane booster.
stall converter is a ati 8" treemaster 5800 rpm

At the third pass I did 7.08 at the 1/8 at 105mph shifting at 7500-7600.
throttle response with the injection is very nice and crisp. The only problem I had is that I forgot to shut the threeway valve of the gas before cutting the ignition and i flood the engine. I prefered return at home and change the oil to prevent any dammage.
I will also change my 26 10 15 slicks for some 28 10.5 15 because i felt some traction problem as the rpm is climbing and when there is less glue on the track.
As a trick for the mechanical injection tuning, I installed 2 oxygen sensor , one on each headers so I can monitor my air/fuel ratio during the race. Results were ok except for higher rpm (rich side) so this way i'll be able to adjust the highspeed bypass. This type of system is also not friendly with the street riding but for me its ok because the track is not far from home.
Some said to me that with another high speed by pass and an electric valve , I may be able to lean the system a little bit for street driving.

Just to give you some input of that set up.

If you had the 5.43 gear and the car would hook you would have a good 6.80 car.
