Hey guys, my name is Travis, I'm 22 years old and have a 1970 Camaro.
It is build for Autocross and road racing, it sees some street miles as well. Have not had a chance to go last year, so hopefully this year I can get some seat time. Racing has always been a part of my life since I was a little kid watching my dad race Super Vee's & Formula Atlantic. Have been racing karts since I was a kid and still do, and have done some open wheel racing. (IMG:http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n557/wardracing/photo6.jpg) |

Nice toy! I was always partial to that body style. I think it's the best of the pre-'82 cars. Welcome aboard!

Are you sure that's accurate? |

This on the Dyno Jet that we have at work at IPS Motorsports should be pretty accurate, did find out from then that my carb needs tuned in.
Air fuel ratio where all over the place, running too rich. Actually had better A/F with nitrous. It is a NOS Sniper kit with carb plate, nothing special just the cheap orange bottle at Jegs. |

My last dyno time was spent teaching the techies at Millar BMW (W.A.R. Chip designers) how 750 Holley race carbs can be adjusted. After 2 1/2 hours of tweaking we picked up 30 HP, just with carb tuning. The kids around my car had never seen the inside of a carb, and thanked me for the lesson, so no charge for at least 6 pulls! Hard to believe they design world class software for fuel management and just make numbers in a grid with no training on basic carburetion... I just have a 350 ZZ4 Fast Burn and it makes 349 HP and 360 Torque at 6000 revs. You need to tune that carb! |

Yes defiantly needs some tuning when the weather permits it is going back on the dyno for couple of hours. Engine came with engine dyno sheet no accessories supposed to make 430 hp and 470 lbs/tq |
