Going racing + dyno tomorrow. Predictions?
Hopefully i can provide some reasonable answers to those Questions:
Total timing hasnt been moved. I kept it at a total of 32. Honestly i had no idea that it was breaking up at high rpms because i havent been able to go somewhere to let it out. I've got one too many tickets, so i can't afford another from screwing around with my car.
Wideband showed 12.5ish wot and, hovers around that around town and on the highway is anywhere from 12.9-13.5. However, i still wonder about the accuracy given that the guys at the dyno claimed it was too lean. I may go recalibrate it here in an hour or so just to double check myself.
I have changed rods, it has #1427 jet & 1455 rods. #23 on this chart:
Though looking at that chart, i do wonder if #3 or #25 would be more advisable in richening the WOT and giving the car better cruise manners.
It's a tuning, knowledge issue. I'll bet there are few issues that are stacking causing your lack of performance. It's a great time to learn something new!
Have you moved the total timing at all. It's not a quench engine if the pistons are in the hole any. It may want another 4* of total.
Since you have a wideband, what type of AF levels do you have when driving on the road?
That engine should make real close to 400 fwhp. Peak should be in the 5600-5800 range. It's 600 rpm short of that. It's making more in the 330-350 at best.
Personally, I'm not an ede carb fan. Can they work yes. Are they better than a holley, not IMO. Have you changed a jet or metering rod in the current carb?
Read the ede tuning manual that is on their site and get to work. Changing the carb may not do anything for you if you aren't willing to learn how to make it work. This stuff doesn't just fly out of the box and work perfect every time. Sometimes you get lucky, most of the time it takes refining.
This car with a 360 and a xe268 cam, 2500 stall and 2.76 gears ran over 104 at vegas with a OOTB holley 750DP and a DA in the 4800 range. It was a smidge rich there.
