64 barracuda 273
With the Commando A833 and 3.55s; my speed at 2800, in each gear is ;
20/33/45/63/81 in overdrive.
When I shift 1-2-3-3od-4od; the
Rpm drops are about 1060/760/620/1340 into 4-od, so, sometimes I carry First a lil longer, but mostly not.
I just like that 2000>2800 pull; the engine is just getting on the timing, and humming a happy tune thru the dual 3" pipes..
Ignition Timing is 28@2800 on the mechanical plus initial, and the VA is adding 22, so long as the vacuum is up over 10/12 inches IIRC. So by 2800, all sources in, that totals 50*, she pulls like a tractor down there.
And sometimes, I mightta forgot to dial out the Timing Module, in which case, that thing adds another, up to 6* the way I have it set. And it/the Dial-Back, adds to the mechanical, so she'd be running 34* at 2800, plus up to 22VA=56*................. and there's 6 more still in the Second stage mechanical, that slowly comes in, from 2800 to 3400. When that's all in, and the Opto-timer is out, then, again, total is 34* after 3400, with up to 22 in the VA and up to 6 more for cruising which then totals
28 + 6 + 6 + 22VA= 62* available. Badaboom!
and there have been times that I have used it all, and wondered if it was enough.......
That's the way I roll.
Did I mention that my little 367 pulls like a tractor down there? I meant; pulls like a tractor with the throttle barely open.
That's how I marry Power, Torque, and Fuel Economy, all in the same engine, Normally Aspirated. Well that and up to 195 psi cylinder pressure with as little as .028 Quench........ and lots of amps coming out the SuperCoil.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but you know, it ain't a 340, so a lotta carshow folks ***** and moaned about that, until I told 'em it has a bore of 4.04, and 3.58 crank in it, so technically, it's the same as a stroked 340, and suddenly I stopped hearing "you shouldda built a 340."
Not to forget to mention, that KB107s scale at 502 grams, versus the 340 forged slugs at 745 IIRC...........
So you wanna talk throttle response?
