Here's a oldie,but goodie: Have you visually verified, ACTUAL FULL THROTTLE mechanically? Are all 4 barrels actually opening up,when controlled by the gas pedal? It's free,usually a first step check,on something like this.
It was mentioned before, but check the valve spring pressure.
another thot, pull the hood insulation off of the hood if your running w/o the air cleaner, won`t hurt a thing , even if it doesn`t help-----------bob
No insulation under hood, and I've got an edelbrock foam air cleaner that looks a lot less restrictive.
Timing was too far advanced, and I'm going to check my valve adjustment today.
One thing though. I just got done reading the thread here where a member blew up his 727 and "only" broke several bones in his foot.
I have the bolted sprag, but no other concessions to safety.
I'm seriously considering not putting this car on the track until I have some shielding on the car.
What do you all think?

Id check pretty much what has already been said. Full throttle, the air cleaner, and the blue pump. I had to run 2 blue pumps on my ol 440/451. One wouldnt feed it. same motor I ran a tunnelram and had some little paper element air cleaners on it. Those little filters were costing me a half second in the quarter. Also where was your timing? Not sure it can get too high as long as it isnt detonating. Ive ran between 38-42 degrees in most of my big blocks N/A.
Made it to the track, and it was feeling a LOT healthier.
BUUUT:
Some rain came through, and Gateway kicked everyone out before anyone ran. I didn't even get off the trailer.
Did get to meet some cool people, in particular, a dude with a notchback primer black cuda.
I've got my rain check. Post when I get to run again.
That sucks that it rained. Was the guy with the primered Cuda named Ron? If so he's the president of our club.
When you run at the track take the air cleaner off your car. I do not see why you would do that in the first place.
Uhh, not sure what this has to do with your quoting me asking about Ron. Actually don't follow your post at all???
check all your grounds the system has to have 13 volts to run correctly not 12 or 12 1/2 it must be 13 or better its more then likely going to 5 or 5500 and stopping mind did the same thing I was so mad I pulled the spring of the carb and and walked away went behind the car and look in at the amp gage it was just off the charge mark.shut her down got to checking and had a bad ground so I added three more to the motor fired her back up went up the street that thing was all over the place got to 7500 before I knew it.yeeeeha life was beter then:cheers:.hope this helps ............ArtieIgnition is mopar electronic.
Going down track, car just felt like a go cart with a governor on it.
