What do you mean by "runs like shit" ?


What heads and intake do you have on the car? What blower? What fuel setup?

I think we have a bad vaccum leak looking for it at the time for the heads it has edelbrock's an edelbrock intake and 36lbs injectors aeromotive fuel rails t-rex pump with a 190 in tank it has about everything I could think of

What is the duration at .050?

Did you check piston to valve clearance?

Albert, do you know what kinda vacuum you have right now? Or does it just need a custom chip?
 
Posted by Albert1 (Member # 558) on :
 
The piston to valve clearance should be fine! they are inverted dome je with little valves in them and I know the cam should work.
As for the custom chip it has a preburn from byron and it still is not running any good. The car has a real hard time at idel and is dying trying to work out the bugs so I could get it on the street
