So as spring slowly approaches us here in PA I have started to get the itch o plan out things I want to improve on my X. As most of you on this board I have a bad habit of constantly trying to improve all aspect of my X. Working on my cars on the weekends gives me great joy, I'm not sure everyone enjoys working on cars but I do.
Anyway one of the things I would like to improve is getting more top end out my X. I have plenty of bottom end but i can't seem to get it to pull compleatly to the redline. So I'll give you as much info on the motor as I can and look forward to any suggestions.
It's a 1980 1500 with a shaved 1300 head, 40/80 Faza cam, Single 42 DCNF carb,MSD ignition and Facet electric fuel pump with regulator. It also has 4 to one exhaust manifold which currently is attached to a fairly open (loud) muffler that exits straight out the rear.
So while it has good power it seems it should pull a little longer on the rpm band. I have been thinking an adjustable cam gear might help me achieve this but I am open to suggestions.
Thanks, PS I love this Forum!
