You mean right when you hit the throttle lightly (sometimes for me) it slightly bogs?

I need some additional tuning in that area, every now and then I can feel the bog under light throttle down low, like taking off from a light. I need to get a log of that though.

Do you have a thread with the specs on that motor? Is it a built motor or mostly just forged pistons? Head work?

eagle h-beam rods, forged pistons, arp on mains and heads, felpro mls gaskets, comp behive springs on the heads. comp cams 224/224, heads were port and polished with valve job by a local guy. marine intake with seimen 60's.

in my closet i have a mpt-70 and a set of syty manifolds along with a detroit locker for the rear.

he still needs to order the meth. the goal is 500rwhp. which is why i want to do the 3bar. i think he will need it for the 15-20psi this little 8.8:1 compression motor will be getting.
