The surge button added 15* of timing but pretty much anything could make the roots surge.
I`ll see how different the whipple is.

Hard to beat the look of the old school blowers, but I think with all the cool updates you did to this Flat Deck, the Whipples fit right in. They look great. Have you hit 100 MPH yet? Gotta be damn close.

94 was my best but more like 89 in the summer heat and 92 everyday with cooler weather loaded with gear and fuel.
I really enjoy ordering parts and putting things together , I hate that starting and testing part that`s where all the frustrating stuff comes in.
maybe I`ll just look at it all summer instead
got the throttles figured out (opposite side than carbs and push/pull not pull/push) and my fuel system is done .


gonna need to put the flame arrestor on them 3000cfm throttle bodies, they look like they could swallow small animals.

so not hoping to sound stupid but i havnt had but one set of MILD blower engines. But i have some ignorant N/A 540s and we need timing to strengthen the idle in gear quality.this is not at all questioning anything. why does the advance of timing at idle make it surge? is it manifold vacuum? btw id love to have that switch!

You can watch the timing in yellow and next to it is the Iac count .:
