Default mistress running good!

Took a spin today .... after working on a few issues I am impressed how besseys runnin!!!

Got my best of 64.8 today with my mistress....I am extremely impressed considering the power I have...

I wanna see if I can squeeze a 65 out of her yet this season.....

460ci 454's 8.4:1
Merlin heads
420 came
Holley intakes
HP 500 carbs 800 cfm
Timing at 34

I may wack the heads and get 9.5:1. And go with a tad more cam...just to see what she can run... everyone else voes 502's with lots more money.... and still barely see the speeds I'm getting... so I'm on a mission to see what I can do with simple markIV engines... and no blowers

Spinning mirage 23p repitched to 24p @5100

8.4:1 comp? I'd find some 6:71's./Superchillers, Holley 'Black' electric pumps @7 lbs boost. Bolt on mods = huge gains with what you got for relatively short money.

Done it, and works very well with what you want.

Right on w/ centrifugal blowers. Easy on parts, boost comes in soft. Find some M1SC's w/ Nickerson carbs. Plenty out there. -I've got one full side in the basement.

Excess energy has the hatches you need. Factory cig race hatches for a mistress in the same colors as your boat. I sold them to him last year.
