Re: Top end response

[Dodger7998@xxxxxxx]

Rich just a thought ,,,,,,,,, what if  you were to put a bypass  solenoid 
on you fuel line around the pressure regulator so as you had full  pump 
pressure at the carbs when acc. pedal is on the floor,,,,,,,,,

I  have been thinking about my top end performance. I have improved leaps 
and  bounds in my ET's but my top-end is frozen around 70mph in the 
1/8th. It  almost feels like a governor. I'm thinking I may have fuel 
delivery issues  at sustained WOT. I know I have plenty of fuel available 
with my new 3/8's  lines and the macho Holley blue 110gph electric pump. 
So I'm thinking that  since the carbs are bumped up rich a couple stages 
maybe I should put in  the larger needle and seats and high perf accel 
pumps. I may be lacking in  flow capacity at sustained top-end. The accel 
pumps have larger nozzles  currently but I feel it may need more volume 
also for the initial launch.  I've ordered the Edelbrock #1980 
needle/seat assy ($11ea local) and the  #1982 Hi-perf accel pump plunger 
assy ($14ea local). I'll try that out  this season and see if it's the 
key to the top-end.

I was kinda  wondering before if my Engine Dynamics 9&1/2" 3000 stall 
converter was  slipping. In retrospect I think fuel delivery is more 
likely. 

What  are your thoughts?
