Al, is there a chassis dyno within reasonable distance to you? Or do
you have a way to upload a digital video of your car accelerating?
Tell me if this is right:
75 Cosworth, 4 speed, 3.73 posi, light advance springs, good exhaust
with performance muffler, no pulse air tubes, EFI tuned to Duke's
suggestions, 205/60/13 tires, recent tune with good plugs and wires,
195 thermostat (very important), proper ignition timing, MAP sensor
still stock adjustment, stock air filter housing, is this about
right? What is your fuel pressure?
Britt
