Okay all good replies and questions. I feel I need to give you all a little background on this X. And my story.
So when I was 16 after driving a few cars my family had around I decided it was time to buy my own car. So after a few weeks of looking I came across this very cool and very Bright Green car that kinda looked like half Ferrari and half porsche 914. So knowing nothing about Fiats I bought it for $2,200. It was a 76 with the big ass double bars on the front. So I drove this Green X and learned a ton about fixing cars. After HS I got a great paying job and since I still lived at home with my parents I had plenty of cash to spend on toys.i ended up selling that X to girl up the street and moved up to a Porsche 924. From there it turned into a911 Turbo and a few other 911's after. Well as life goes I got married had kids and had to sell the 911 Turbo so we could build a house.
So fast forward to about five years ago maybe six and I started to remember how much fun that little green X was. Call it a mid life crisis or whatever, I had to find one. My father knew a guy who he thought still had one that he used to race in Hillclime races. We contacted him and yep he still had it. We pushed out of his garage and worked out a deal. Loaded it on the trailer and took her home. Took a few days to go over the motor change fluids and finally got it fired up, first time it was running in about 10 years. So we knew it had a motor that was modified but how much was unknown. We got as much info from him as we could but he was an older gentleman and couldn't remeber all the specifics. But he did give me all the racing info on the car with log books and all, it won many a race in his time. I have all the race badges fastened to the underside of the rear decklid. Anyway I really didn't know what was done to the car until I blew a head gasket and tore it down myself. Now I can tell you what Cam, electronic ignition, distributer and head it has. As for Pistons I belive them to be stock but I don't really know. So when you ask me if the cam has been setup properly I'm not sure what you mean. My father, who has been in the automotive industry his entire life, is my inspiration and always my main helper when it comes to projects like that was. What I can tell you is I have driven five different x19's and this one is by far the quickest one I have driven. That being said I'm sure there is more to gain from this setup. So I like to experiment with different things to see if I can gain anything. That being said I do not auto cross it is my weekend sunny day driver that always gets heads turning.
Sorry for the long post, I got carried away.
Today I verified all the timming marks are dead on. I now need to verify that the tach isn't playing games with me. I mean it sounds like it has to be turning 7,000 rpm's when it's only showing 5,200. I also removed the air filter and took it for good hard drive and had the same results. Don't get me wrong it runs great very smooth and quick throttle response with plenty of tourqe. I just feel, if the tach is correct, I should get more.
If you read this whole post you have more patients than me.
