Default So this is how my 74 is SUPPOSED to RUN

Got the engine and Carb dialed in last night and went for a cruise....WOW what a huge difference Compression makes.....It is now right at 10.5:1 up from 8:5:1.....The 041 heads really let the engine breathe and the Response of the Holley 750 is pretty darn sweet....I am gonna run a couple of hundred miles befroe laying into it ...but the cam was areally wicked idle and hits extremely hard around 2000 to 2500 rpm's.........I am so Glad I spent the money for heads and a cam I would highly recommend the upgrade

When you get use to the performance you have now what will happen?
You will have to stroke the motor to get another trill, then what? OK, a little bit of NOS will need to be added....NOS..NOS, I need to get NOS..What then..Big block, thats it..more cubes and then a blower..
Where does it all end..
Glad to hear the mods are working out, can't wait to get mine rolling again.

That is where Chevy let us down! L48's should have run from the factory like that .The L82's should have had more!
