And you believed correctly. Much better off idle torque with the current curve . I will continue to tweek it over the next few weeks .

Yes . Now I need to adjust the idle circuit.

Remapped my curve and it definitely helped. Might need to back off a little at 2000 rpm.

What is your curve like ?

Yes . I will need to break out my laptop when I get home later today .

That’s good info . The engine can idle around 750 but I set it at 950 to keep solid rollers happy . It’s easy enough to change my curve I just haven’t had the time and wanted some feedback before diving into it .

...timing really is a reflection of and determined at high rpm performance. If the engine doesnt perform any better at 34 than 32 why use 34. Unless you are suggesting the engine might want 34-36* at 4000 but 32* at 6500…. Which would be possible with my digital ignition . That would be...

185 cranking

4 speed 3.55 gears although I just picked up a set of 3.91s with clutch style sure grip .

True for many aspects of tuning but wouldn’t wide open throttle at max rpms under load be similar in both cases ? In the car engine bay heat would become a factor but that would call for less timing I would think .

I don’t consider 246/250 to be a long duration for a 4” crank but maybe your right .

My W2s are closed chamber race heads with .040ish quench . Anything more than 32 yeilded nothing on the dyno . Surprised the dyno guy as well .

That he is . But not sure if he is the Tuning Guru . Guess we will find out

The 408 in my Swinger seems pretty lazy at lower rpms and I am thinking its my timing curve . I had the engine dynoed but that only covers 3000 - 7000 rpms . The build is as follows W2 heads ported 246/250 @ .050 / .648 lift on 108 solid roller W2 Victor intake 9.5:1 compression 850 Pro...

I agree with RRR . That was my first thought. Advancing the timing is free and easy . Start there first.

Ha ! See what you made me do ? I just bought one .

Or this and a breaker bar . https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095SGS3FC?tag=fabo03-20

Yes , there is a long wrench like tool available that bolts to the yoke with ujoint strap bolts. You could make one out of a long piece of flat bar .

I grew up in Minnetonka MN where Tonka Toys Corp. was based and built . I had lots of them but ever seen that one .

Actually if you’re going to take out a loan for something why not use the collateral that gets you the lowest interest available ? And for many years allowed you to reduce your tax burden ? Congrats ! Looking forward to hearing about the Victor powered car .

Do you mean Emergency ?

My guess is 600k

I was just going to post same thing . Hell I dont think you can buy ANY home in Idaho for 235k !

My neighbor Ray reports to hold the record for most hours in an F4 Phantom. He chose to never take a desk job and instead took up instructing .

Common to see F15Es , Warthogs , F16 and an occasional stealth here . Not to mention some Gaurd choppers running canyons while dirt biking.

It just occurred to me that my best friend had a twin to your Valient but with a 3 on the tree . He beat the hell out of it and finally threw a rod ! Great car ! He then bought a used Datsun B210 from a hot woman we worked with . It was horrible ! The A/T would downshift every time he went...

Same thing here in Idaho

I would love to have that as a daily driver .

Nice car ! Low mile survivor ?

Looks great . I am assuming that does not include the gauges and circuit board.
