Well, after fighting fuel issues with my car at the ZMAX PINKS ALL OUT this year. Before the final 16 were called up (2hrs prior) I discovered two rockers on the driver side hanging on for dear life (broke guide plates). After robbing parts from my dad and getting the car back together. We made every round and Won it all!!!!!!!! BUT lastnight I discovered why these rockers did what they did (Keep in mind the valves were adjusted when I picked the motor up) I discovered that my push rod length was incorrect and a 1/4 inch too short!!! Not only has the motor been fight up top, but not sure how this thing stayed together. I'm shocked!!

Took the car back out last night just to check where she wants to be shifted, the car picked up 2 tenths and 4 mph. I think i need to put it on the dyno just to see where it's making all its power.
