back together again!

ok guys i put my 526 back together so i could run a little before winter.4.440x4.250,A460's.i got some 6cc small dome pistons from uncle Charlie and cut my heads .100,went from 87cc to 70.also picked up about 80cfm on the flow #'s on the intake side of the heads.worked the plenum over a lot,was stock.put the big comp cam back in it too.it's together and fired and all is well so far,BUT,the same 1150 i was running didnt want to idle for shit! today i pulled it and drilled two1/8 holes in the center by the stud and helped the rich issue a lot and the idle is fair at 1400rpm.it has the 98 jets and no p/v's,just as i ran it last.will this be a good place to start? i was thinken with the extra compression i now have i may need less jet but carbs are not my best subject it will be injected soon so i can get a handle on the setup for the 605 next year.

WHY ARE YOU SWITCHING? leave the carb on it

If it were me the injection would already be on it lol.

i knew you'd say that

98s in a 1150 sounds like a lot.....unless you have Q16 in it.

WE RAN 100's a lot from 112 to 114, carb probaly needs circut work, and yes we have 101's in a q16 engine right now

have you dynod it with the carb? will you after the switch to alco?

i'v been runnen vp113.the last pass i made with it was 5.75 which was the best pass it'd made.it ran a 5.80 with a 1050 with 92's in it.

this one wont see a dyno unless it realy picks up a lot,then i may dyno it when i dyno the 605 this winter.

some pic's too even got one of the fat tires and new sissy bars!

Did you ever think about turning the 4 idle screws in 1/4-1/2 in or opening the idle air bleeds .002-.003? What's up with the 1/8" drill deal?
Oh hell.......it'd be easier and cheaper to put it on injected alky

Thats a good looking car. I could drive that!

i turned the screws all kinda ways and it was too fat. i realy didnt want to drill the air bleeds unless i tapped the holes too so i could change them again and from what i could find searching the net the holes in the body or blades would work for a fat idle.i think it's the big ass cam you sold me that caused the problem. i bet it'll drink gas too. and i dont have a high end carb so i'll put that 1200$with a little more and get the alky injection.

hell to the yeah....................now get that injection on there and be a HeRo.................

the guy that did the flow work on my heads has a ron's setup he wants me to try on it.he said a tenth faster wouldnt be out of the question but the cooling is the big reason i want it.i also put the little double pass radiator on it and can tell you now it aint gona cool as good as the big one but the big jump in compression could be part of it.

if it only picked up a tenth I'd be pissed.................

i just want to get it back down the track!it's gona be like a new car,front clip and struts,all new wireing and a fresh upgraded motor.what more could a HeRo want!

you gonna need a chute..................

richter69 wrote:you gonna need a chute..................

already got the mount from summit,just didnt know what chute to buy.if it'll just go fast friday night i'll burn the new brakes down and get more next week. this has been the most work the car has had in a long time and i'm dam sure ready for some "pay off" for all the sweat that ran off my ass all summer worken on it.

The car looks killer by the way.

thanks,i did the glide swap for the winter and was pissed about it and just took it all out and kinda started over.hell it's been too hot to go racen anyway,i'm a fair weather guy!

well,mixed resuls.the car worked very good,no more big sky!the bad news is the converter is too tight.i only made 3 passes and the first realy dont count.2nd pass i left at 3200 shift at 7000,1.30 60',5.64-124mph.changed carb for the last pass and realy shouldnt have.4000 launch 1.27 60',5.67-122. i checked the stall today and only goen to 4800.was 5000 before the work on the heads and compression jump but i also put the comp cam back in it and it dont get started good till about 6000 286/292@.050-807/814.where should the converter be?2600#car,4.86gear,33"tire and a glide.now i have a tight 9"converter.

5800........put the alky on it and see what happens to the stall.........

Listen to Lem................ Leave the jets alone, just add Q-16 and a 6000 converter................

This will be another example of a good engine that never got a good shake on gas before putting it on alky and every one will think that alcohol is the hp hero. (I know you have cooling issues too)

No one has proven to me it is, (on a good engine). Not saying it isn't I just don't know if it is.

When some one gets all they can out of a gas set up on a good engine, then goes to alky and picks up e.t.and MPH I will concede.
