Dear Sean,


             I agree and there are bungs in the exhaust for future use on
the dyno as well as possible A-F meter instrumentation.  Thanks.


                         Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

I think those are good specs, I would still start with 8 initial and 34
total until I had it at a professional dyno shop for a few runs.  They can
help you find the best power without detonation.  Andy's is a little
agressive but it sounds well matched to your motor.  They can also let you
know where to go with your fuel and that can really help with power.  It's a
shame to spend good money on a nice motor and not finish it on the chassis
dyno.
