Constant tweaking to get it right.

Don't get me wrong, i love working on my duster, at the same time i wish things would just work for a change. lololol. Hence how i got the nick name Grumpy back in the day. Well i got my fuel system issues sorted out this weekend, and took the car out for a blast this morning.

Made a hard pass onto the on ramp onto the double lane, set the fuel PSI to 6.5, I hit my 6500 rpm shift points, and was doing 110 mph in high gear when i exited the on ramp, fuel PSI was sitting solid at 6. I was very happy, car works like a dream. Good Old Holley Blue pump for the win. 40 year old technology still works.

Love the car

Glad it's working the way you like

Not fond of the 110MPH out on the roads where my loved one's may be....

Again - Love the car

Not to worry, we have very little traffic here at 10 am on a Holliday Monday. The road was deserted, i was the only car out there. would never do **** like that in traffic, just asking for trouble.

At 2900 RPM the motor makes 516 tq, from 4000 rpm to 4500 it carries 552 peak TQ,and still has 500 tq at 5500 rpm.Just a torque monster.
