Default Test and Tune results

Went to test and tune last night in my quest for a 7.999 all motor. Well, it didn't happen. Had a couple of 8.15's. I also ran an 8.70 @ 79mph. I went back to the pits because the car was stumbling. Come to find out I had accidentally knocked the no. 1 plug wire off the distributor. I guess a 8.70 with a 1.93 60' isn't bad for 7 cylinders.

Anyway I decided to use some squeeze on my last two runs. I ran a personal best of 7.366 with a 125 shot. Here's the breakdown:

Reaction .083
60' 1.553
330' 4.689
1/8 mile 7.366
MPH 91.67

I made another pass with the bottle pressure increased to 950 (from 800) but it spun (1.682 60') and only managed a 7.502. I leave at 16 -1800rpm and shift @ 5600 rpm. By the way, out of 5 passes, three Mustangs were killed.

Thanks. Cam is a hydraulic flat tappet. Way too mild for most tastes, but it gets the job done!
