Bruce, you may have hit on one thing that could bear on this. My head temp sensor is a 3/8 threaded stud type, mounted in the deep recess under...
Robert, RPM logger. Thermocouples came from them as well. Dont know if the probes are sticking out too far. I have to make assumptions. I...
Paul, The port outlet and the hat outlet on a K valve feed from the same chamber, so they are the same thing, it's just a convenient place to...
Bruce, I did look at the poppets, but did not open any to look for stuck. I'm gonna turn the high speed poppet around, and take that out of the...

Bruce, Thanks for your post. I'll check everything out, fire it with the new settings and report back in a little while. I appreciate the...
Edit. I think I'll set it to 80% instead of 75 for my next start. Question: Is it common for the pipes to spit fuel at idle? If so, maybe...
With the barrel valve leaned out a little I see balanced temps, but high, around 700. If I richen it up I start to see what you show above, the...
Update: I am getting info through the back-channels that the fuel heads take alot more lead than the Fat heads. I set my idle timing at 30...
Thanks Mike, I set TDC with a piston stop and degree wheel with the heads off, so I'm pretty sure it's close. Pulling the engine through...

Don't worry Dave, our little track is only 1/8 mile, and I will still be making some early shutoffs just to get used to the car. I intend to work...

Yep. She's a runnin'! So far all looks good. I'm in the process of setting, checking and adjusting all the crap that needs fiddled with. -Brian
Not looking for any secrets, but if any of you guys that are logging head temp during a run could give me a range for finish line temp I'd sure...
