i've ran that much and more with a 466.too much cam and too much fuel likes it.if your tune up is pritty good you should'nt need 40,36-38 at the most.with alky i ended up at 32 but have ran as low as 24.

34-38*

38 t0 40 !

Well it didnt like 40 at all. 32 is what it likes.

32 seems to work a lot of the time.

32* is the magic number for d0ve's in the 11.7:1ish range
