Re: Forest's rebuild thread

I took the truck to the dyno yesterday. I went to Westech were they film Engine Masters. I even got to meet Steve Brule. They changed out my secondary metering rods to get a good mixture and they also messed with the transmission cable that connects to the throttle. Because he messed with that cable I took it to the transmission builder to make sure he didn’t mess that up. All and all I am happy with the experience but it was fairly expensive and now I have a bunch of extra Q-jet parts. I took video but it looks exactly the same as the photo except the wheels are spinning. He took it up to around 4250 rpm. He would have gone faster but the rear end started shaking like crazy. I think I need to fix the pinion angle. 197 hp at 4493 rpm and 246 ft pounds at 3710 rpm.
