well hers the bad or not so good news

I have a speculation regarding the spitting at the end of the track, could it be that you are running out of fuel due to the big carb? Maybe your fuel system is not keeping up? The smaller carb wouldnt reveal this issue as much.. I suppose your rpm thru the trap is a little more with the small carb? Ahh just a thought.. Can you monitor fuel pressure while running the car down the track?

tire psi i thought was 12 but was realy 7
next run the computer was down and i think was my best but on time ...([Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean])
then computer went down(i thought was the best time)-----------------------------------
next time i made some changes/100oct. fuel
went to a 750 aed/ho with a 4 hole spacer

[email protected]

now my car went the fastest with best time with the 950hp and (i think 17psi in the tire)
but my best mph was with the 750aed/ho at 90.005mph

what makes the 950 bust up at the end of the track???sounds like the valve spring going bad...but then i put the 750 on and run out the back door....
now with the 950 it seems that the carb would spin worst then go..(my buddy said he can hear the car spinning the wheel he was on the track with me)but the 750 did not spin as bad or leave as hard but ran out the back door....what should i do work on the 950 or get a 750???? the verta would flash 4000 at about 10mph from a roll, i did get to check that....at 1st i thought i needed some new springs but now i am lost so i thought i would ask the pro's.....i know the car has more in it but where should i start with it????so come on small block guys help me out.. i learned that me tire press. gauge was so far off like 5psi then i change that psi after the 2nd time pass
so do you guys think carb is to big or just need to work on it???
