Jake pulled his engine and trans out of the car to fix a broken ring and pinion. While the engine was out, he decided to spend a couple lunch hours and nights after work machining some stock 28mm venturis out to 36mm, hoping to get a little extra poop out of his 1968cc micro-stroker. With a couple dyno pulls and some jetting changes, he picked up a few ponies and extended the power band out another 500 RPMs, while still retaining a super nice flat torque curve. It made 136 HP and 126 ft-lbs torque. The car should be a little faster now, and still remain a nice street driver. Well get it back in the car for Drag Night, and for the upcoming Bugorama Sacramento event and see what it does out there. He was running 8.7s in the 1/8th, and 13.9s in the 1/4. Hope to see a little gain. Its certainly making better power.
