RE: Paul vs Rich -the outcome

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let me get in here with my reply.  We were pitted next to a guy with a 
68 Coronet 500 running a 440/4V(800 CFM), virtually the same cam as me, 
.391 gears, 255x14" street tires and he won the Big Block Street Tire 
class which I was running in.  His time was over  2sec. faster than 
mine.  He was running @7.80's.  He was a great guy and gave me some 
tips.  So I know I've got a lot more improvement left to find.  The main 
thing he pointed out was my compression ratio which is probably close to 
8:1 with my low compression 1974 motor.  So It looks like the machinist 
will be getting a few $$ this winter.  I'm also running stock exhaust.  
So I like hearing the comment read here on the BB that "the Schumacher 
headers drop right in".  He also suggested my 625 CFM carb was on the 
small side for a 440.  
So now I've just got to follow through on a few of these suggestions and 
I'll be looking for a rematch.
