>>New 390 is weak, need pointers<<

By spinnerbait42 - 11/27/2004 2:02:57 AM; IP 160.81.223.94

Gotta '73 F-100 2wd shortbed. Put a Recon Reman 390 w/C8AEH heads, Holley 750 vac secondaries (out of the box, no jetting, & obviously 2 much after reading this forum), Edlebrock Performer Intake, 268/0.494 Comp Cam & lifters, Dynomax 3" Headers to Thrush Glasspax cut off after cabin, TCI 1800 stall, original C6 tranny w/B&M Street/Strip kit <90k miles still shifts nice & tight. Original gears & diff, guessing 3.73 w/offroad website tire-driveshaft calculator. Only dyno'd @ 250bhp & 350tq. Runs super smooth, no noises or problems. Got high 15's on the quarter mile, but my engine seems 2 dyno weak compared 2 all U guy's mild buildups, why duz mine suck?

This thread, so far...
