Top End Miss

so i contacted clifford as i was asking about daming the intake and this is what i got...

"Are you running chrome molly rings?

If so, this is a major problem. We need to change the rings to a pure chrome ring. Your engine doesn't have any seal above 2,500 rpm's unless you install chrome rings.


The cam you are running is trying to make horse power and you have a torque engine.


Our cams are designed to peak torque in the low end and peak horse power in the high end.


For instance, you changed your rear end gears because you are trying to get to the torque. You have none. Right now you are getting down the track like a v-8. 220 ft lbs of torque at 5,500 rpms.


Our cam will flip that and get 400 ft lbs of torque at 3,800 rpm's, then 240 horse power at 5,500 rpm's. Change your rear end back because we want to stay in the low end as long as possible.


See the difference?


Now, the Mallory unilite distributor will make a huge difference in your 1/8th mile and 1/4 mile time.
'Get that for sure.


Our 6=8 headers with our -X- pipe is a key part and will get you at least a full second better time.


This is a must for your car.


I have a 1.6 adjustable rocker assembly that will give our cam .030 higher valve lift. Buy it!


Do you have the water jacket hooked up? If not, do it. It will atomize air and fuel much better. A must.


The Holley carb is a handicap and needs to go as well. I have a race ready Weber 38 that will get off idle to 7,000 rpm's faster than any carb in the world. By it!


I hope I have helped you with your car. It should be in the low 13 second bracket and we certainly will.


Thank you
