Default Thanks BarryK

Hello all,I just joined this forum, it seems everybody has conflicting opinions regarding how to tune these engines. Is it too much to ask that the people building/working on them have the proper knowlege??
Anyways, thanks to your info and articles the mystery is solved....much appreciated!!
BTW the car is a 69 convertible, 350 (380hp dynoed), 4-speed close ratio. My third vette and by far the favorite.

I have to tell you, between your article, Lars & John's papers, and another hot rod friend of mine, I am comfortable now tuning my own ride, and this comes from an Athlete that had oil change knowledge before, and I have been through engine, transmission and working on rear end/tranny conversion now. Couldn't have done JACK, without all the help from every angle

Most people on CF, just plain ROCK, If I had a brewery, you would all be invited!
