She didn't do so good

Well like the title says, bluzurb didn't do so good this weekend on the dyno. After all the work that was done she still wasn't ready. The first time i dyno'd her she put out 234 rwhp and 330 rwtq. Since then, i have rebuilt the carb, put in roller rockers, new valve springs, and new distributer. Everything was adjusted right. Then she put out 228 rwhp 314 rwtq. When she was on the dyno, she couldn't even go over 4500. We called the GM mechanic that loves working on hot rods and he said the ignition probably needs to be replaced. he is probably right. So, i am not looking at getting a new ignition coil, 8.8mm wires, and E3 spark plugs.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully with new electronics, it will do better.

yeah i already have the list i am going to get. I am going to Fallon, NV for a det. Be there for a month and then i can claim a nice travel claim. My list is as follows, mallory ignition coil, HEI upgrade distributer chip, 8.8mm wires, and E3 spark plugs. Should be a pretty nice little ignition after all that. If it's not that, it may be a fuel issue. I don't know. One step at a time though. I am thinking about going to the pontiac nationals this year in petersburg. I want to run her down the track on test and tune day.
